Joe Rogan claims he enjoys his role as UFC commentator now more than ever. However, that’s purely because of the workload.

Rogan has been the UFC’s more well-known color commentator for more than a decade, but in recent years the volume of shows he’s been in the booth for has tapered back significantly. He currently only works pay-per-view cards, and said he has no desire for that to change.

Rogan has voiced his displeasure with the UFC’s previous broadcast partner FOX, and said some conflict arose that caused him to stop calling anything for the network outside of televised prelims for pay-per-view events. He doesn’t appear to have any issues with the UFC’s new partner ESPN, but said he doesn’t want a busier schedule.

“I’m not interested,” Rogan during a recent edition of his “Fight Companion” podcast for this past Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 1 event in Phoenix.

Rogan’s role with the UFC gradually has faded over the years as the company has expanded its operations and put on more fight cards. Rogan used to do color commentary for almost every event, but that’s far from the case now, because the organization has a stable that includes the likes of Dominick Cruz, Daniel Cormier, Paul Felder and Michael Bisping.

Rogan’s “Fight Companion” podcasts have become a hit for him. He streams live with friends during ongoing MMA cards and said he would much prefer that environment outside of calling a handful of events per year.

“I would take this for zero money over being in Phoenix right now,” Rogan said. “Although I would want to see those fights live and would love to call those fights live, I’m good with 10 a year. That’s what I like. I like 10 a year. 10 a year is what I like. Once a month, two months off.”

Rogan has made no secret over the years about the turbulence in his passion to continue as an MMA broadcaster. With his comedy career and a podcast enterprise that reportedly brings in upward of $30,000 per episode, Rogan has plenty of other ventures in life outside of working for the UFC.

He appears to have found a balance that works for him, though, and made no hints that his UFC commentary days are reaching an end with his next assignment scheduled for UFC 235 on March 2 in Las Vegas.

“I was thinking I was on my way out, but I still love it,” Rogan said. “And I love it way more now because I don’t have to do it as much. I love it way more now because we do this because we can do all of this (expletive)-talking, have fun and be silly.”
