Joe Rogan surprises fighter by covering her expenses for key medical procedure

Joe Rogan, the longtime voice of the UFC/standup comic/podcast legend, just did something awesome for a fighter who hasn’t fought for over six years due to injury, and she couldn’t have been more grateful for his gesture.

Miriam Nakamoto, whose last fight was at Invicta FC 7 back in 2013, got a text message from Rogan saying that the stem-cell treatment she needed to help fix her knee would be 100 percent covered and that he will cover all the expenses for her trip to see the doctor in Panama.

Nakamoto wrote on Instagram:

So …this happened today. I’m struggling to find the words. I’ve been trying to make a comeback for almost 6 years now. I’ve come close a few times. But I kept having difficulty with my knee. There’s not much to be down with a grade 3 lesion on a meniscus besides stem cell therapy. I didn’t have $30,000 so I did the best that I could, but I still always came up short. And then this happens today. I’m still in shock. Thank you @joerogan. See you soon Dr. Riordan! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️#besthumanever#dreamsdocometrue #speechless#secondchance #blessed #grateful#letsgochamp

How cool is that?

Hopefully she can get back in the cage sometime soon.
