"With MMA, when I'm watching it and I'm there live, I'm cageside and I'm watching all this stuff go down... I'm not just watching it, but I'm also analysing it. So I'm trying to decipher patterns and I'm data-chunking and I'm trying to figure out what could possibly happen. What am I seeing? Am I projecting this or am I actually seeing this, and just trying to be as empty about it as I can and also be so enthusiastic about it."However, it's the human moments that often catch him off guard. Such as Darren Elkins' sensational comeback win over Mirsad Bektic at UFC 209. After being beaten to a bloody pulp for the guts of 15 minutes, the underdog dug deep and got the finish. Rogan admitted that he teared up before interviewing the victor after the fight.
"There are moments like when Darren Elkins beat Mirsad Bektic... (exhales loudly) it's so hard for me not to cry inside the Octagon. It was so hard! When I was interviewing that dude - I'll start welling up right now - when I was interviewing him after that fight, I was like, 'that guy just emptied out... I mean emptied out his whole soul!'" "He took a fucking beating for two-and-a-half rounds and didn't give up an inch. There was no quit in him. None. Zero. And then finally in the third round he catches that guy. And there's this roar that he did after that fight was stopped, where he throws his arm back and he was moving around the cage and screaming - he's covered in blood... Gawd! I have to wipe tears off my eyes, it's hard!"Beauty takes many forms.
