Here is what Sanko said:
“I don’t mean to compare myself but I’d like to aspire to be like a nice mixture of Brian Stann and Joe Rogan. The work ethic and the research that Brian Stann brought to the table. I mean, I remember working with him my first few years in the UFC and that guy researched like no one else. He was watching every moment of fight footage he could. He was talking directly with the fighters. I mean, the guy was really putting in the effort to tell their stories properly and to tell the story.
“I have been a fan of Joe Rogan forever… What I love that he brings is just this genuine excitement that a fan has. It’s almost like he is this super fan and he just so happens to get to call the fights.”
