Shane Gills is one of the most popular stand-up comedians in America. On a recent episode of Andrew Schulz's podcast "Flagrant," Gillis confessed that he challenged Joe Rogan to a drunken fight last week. He said, "I tried to fight Rogan last week… whoops! He ripped my shoulder off and I was hammered so I was like ‘You can’t tap me dude’, So, I kept f**king with him. He tapped me like eight times, dude. He kept going!"
Gillis also mentioned that Rogan was being made fun of by other people there, and that merely pushed him a little farther in his wrestling. Joe Rogan is well-known for both his work with the UFC and his own podcast, which also happens to be the most popular one out there. He has been commentating and hosting UFC events since 1997 and has experience in mixed martial arts himself. Rogan often posts videos of himself doing ju-jitsu and kickboxing, as well as being skilled in karate and taekwondo.
