The New York Post reports that Fear Factor host Joe Rogan got into a fist fight with guest Jonathan Baker, who was once a contestant on The Amazing Race and was filming an episode of Rogan's NBC reality game show. The paper reports that during a stunt involving alligators, Baker's Playboy model wife was yelled at by Johnny "Fairplay" Dalton from Survivor (ugh, what a horrible episode of Fear Factor this must be), and then when Baker tried to stick up for his wife, Rogan punched him a couple of times.Fear Factor executive producer Matt Kunitz admits there was a confrontation, and there is even a clip of the fight on the Fear Factor site. Check it out (video on upper left). I can't get it to work, but there is audio and pics at Baker's official site.
(P.S. I wonder if this was a real fight, or just publicity for the show, which happens to return on June 13?)

This is what the the video shows.
The angry Playboy-slut comes from a "stunt" and punches the Survivor-loser as hard as she can because he was yelling at her during the "stunt".
Joe tells her not to punch other people then Baker yells at Joe tell him to leave his wife alone, Joe says "...you may hit each other at home but you can't do that here."
They cut away and then you see Joe holding Bakers head down at crotch level and then Mike"the Miz" seperate the two before Baker gets killed.
The couple were fighting throughout the whole episode
and they don't deny being a little slappy-punchy at home.

As Joe trains with guys in the UFC, I'd imagine that fight would end really quick.

I'd have liked to see this one go all the way. Joe's as strong as a Canadian moose and trains with some awesome fighters. Too bad he didn't get a chance to show his stuff on a violent jerk. Also, if you're interested in an especially martial arts novel, try Process of Elimination by Arthur Bradley, found on Amazon.

Joe Rogan is a tool and douchebag. He gets paid to watch people do stunts and yell at them to tell them how bad theyre doing and how everyone else is better. Any person could do that job, I mean yelling at people, blah blah, You are a loser Joe, get a real job
