Joe Rogan was left stunned when a former UFC star told him about the time she 's**t herself' in front of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Julie Kedzie had two fights in UFC, losing both via split decision in 2013 - but she had a long career in MMA before that and fought all over the worldwide for multiple promotions.
Kedzie, who has a record of 16-13 in MMA, primarily fought in her home country of the United States but had one bout over in Saint-Petersburg, Russia back in 2007.

She faced Russian Julia Berezikova on the 'BodogFight: Clash of the Nations' card which was headlined by Fedor Emelianenko's victory against Matt Lindland.
Despite breaking her nose in the first round, Kedzie picked up a TKO win - but she remembers the encounter for a different, more embarrassing reason.
In between the rounds, a cornerman poured cold water on the back of Kedzie's neck and she thought that it prompted her to fart - though she later found out that she had actually followed through.

After her win, the women's bantamweight was onto a bus with the other winning fighters and taken to a palace while still wearing her fight attire, unable to shower or freshen up.
There she met acting legend Jean-Claude Van Damme, with an awful stench still present. At point she thought she had stepped in another fighter's vomit but then she made the humiliating discovery in the palace bathroom and had to dispose of her underwear.
“I end up going to the restroom and there’s just s**t caked all over,” she said on the Joe Rogan Experience.

“And I’m like, ‘How did I s**t myself?’ It must have been in between rounds. It was disgusting.
“There’s no trash can. It’s all silk and gold in this beautiful palace, so I just take my panties off and roll them up and shove them behind the toilet.
“It was a black lace thong, Vladimir Putin. That was mine and I want it back. Actually I don’t want it back. That’s gross. It was 10 years ago."
UFC commentator Rogan was both disgusted and incredibly amused in equal measure but the crazy story did not end there.

Even after her accident, the 43-year-old was hit on by former Italy Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi before she met Putin, who was in the first of two presidential stints.
“So then I have to go back out there and (former Italian Prime Minister) Silvio Berlusconi was hitting on me and trying to pick me up. He was like, ‘Hey, can I be your boyfriend tonight?’
“He’s saying it through a translator. And I’m like, ‘I smell like s**t.’

“I was as cleaned up as I could be, but I was like, ‘You are a dirty motherf***er’.
“And Putin comes and puts his arm around me and I’m like, ‘This is weird as hell.’
“I s**t myself in front of foreign dignitaries in another country. And that’s probably my favorite MMA story.”
