Joe Rogan has been with the UFC for over two decades now and one of his favorite fighters seems to be BMF Champion Jorge Masvidal.
The UFC color commentator says Masvidal is hard for any fighter in the UFC to deal with.
“The Ben Askren fight, that was it,” Rogan said on The Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show (via Tom Taylor of BJPenn.com). “That was the cherry on top, and then of course the merking of Nate Diaz. He beat the f**k out of Nate Diaz. That was a crazy fight. [He knocked out Darren Till] with a beautiful step-forward, left hook combination. He’s a monster. He’s a monster. He’s hard for anybody to deal with. The fact that he stopped Darren Till when Darren Till was this terrifying striker who had just beat down Donald Cerrone. Darren Till was a scary guy. To see [Masvidal] put him away that way—obviously it was after Tyron [Woodley] had beaten [Till]—it was still stunning. A stunning KO.”
Masvidal has won three of his last four in the UFC, with those wins coming over Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz.
Rogan also wouldn’t mind seeing a rematch between Masvidal and Kamaru Usman, as long as Masvidal gets a full training camp for the second fight.
“I would have really liked to seen Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman if Jorge had a camp. Cause he did not have a camp for that fight, and still presented some real problems for Kamaru,” Rogan says.
