Joe Rogan has always been making headlines since he started his podcast. He is one of the most influential men in the MMA world. He is one of the best commentators in the world as well. His accomplishments are no less, but his knowledge on a variety of topics makes it really ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’.
In the latest episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Joe Rogan and Tim Kennedy were discussing the fight of the ‘Heavyweights’, Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury. Moreover, Rogan spoke of one incident that no one noticed during the fight.
Joe Rogan said, exclaiming, “And there was a moment in the 2nd round. That I yelled out. It was like, Oh, he heard them there”. Rogan emphasized how even commentators didn’t notice what Ngannou did.
Rogan said, “In the 2nd round, there was a moment in the clinch, where he hit Tyson Fury with an uppercut, but then the commentators didn’t even notice that he hit him with a right hand over the top. And the right hand was a short clubbing right hand”.
Joe Rogan was disappointed by the commentators and judges for how they undermined Francis Ngannou and all the things he was doing inside the ring. Rogan felt Tyson Fury just didn’t think Francis would be that powerful. Clearly, in the fight, it was evident that Fury didn’t even think that The Predator would back him up in the corner with such power and intensity.

Joe Rogan was yelling and shouting after the uppercut Ngannou threw. But he noticed something peculiar; he saw the fear in the eyes of the World Boxing Council heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury.
Joe Rogan confidently said, “You see the look in Tyson Fury’s eyes, where he is like Jesus! That power is F***g extraordinary. But not just the power, but the intelligence to deliver that power in the most high-pressure situation imaginable“.
Rogan emphasized the skills Francis Ngannou possessed during the fight. Francis, coming from an MMA background, went into his first professional fight against the World Champion and fought like he did. Ngannou deserves all the praise in the world. Even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t believe it.

Ngannou went against one of the best heavyweights of all time and absolutely showed his class. It was a nail-biting fight where ‘The Gypsy King’ won by split decision. But the world witnessed the birth of a new boxing sensation who has both the skill and power to defeat any opponents who come his way.
Many might argue about Ngannou, but Fury has an illustrious career that has now spanned over 25+ years, and a man with an MMA background coming out smashing the Champion makes it important to look at how the global sport is building and getting new faces to fly the sport in the world.
