But is he a mixed martial artist?

The lead identifies Rogan as a "mixed martial artist," and we have him categorized in Category:American male kickboxers, Category:American male mixed martial artists, Category:American male judoka, Category:American Muay Thai practitioners, Category:American male taekwondo practitioners, and Category:American male kickboxers.

However, the text of the article only supports that he practiced taekwondo and kickboxing in his teens and early twenties, and makes no mention of his ever practicing Judo, Muay Thai, or MMA. He is certainly an ongoing practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu, so I support his staying in Category:American practitioners of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but I think the rest can go. At the very least, he is not primarily known for these endeavors.

I'll go ahead and make these edits now, feel free to revert or discuss if I'm missing something, but wanted to identify my rationale here. Kane5187 (talk)

The following statement is accurate in the article. I am a relative of Joseph’s and this is accurate.

Gerard Way Relationship

Joe Rogan and Gerard Way are Second Cousins. I believe this is notable.

It's stated in the infobox that Gerard is his "2nd cousin" and that his brother Mikey is his "second cousin". This seems like an annoying stylistic inconsistency and ought to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Margretarson (talk • contribs) 21:25, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

What the hell is this?

Over half the citations are either primary sources or non reliable. No mention of criticism, no mention of his conspiracy theories, and no mwntionnof his role as part of the alternate influencer network and the alt right radicalization pipeline. In fact, this entire article reads like a humongous one sided fluff piece. Who's responsible for this and how is this allowed on wikipedia? This entire article needs a thorough rewrite. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 14:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
