“Freak of Nature Type Sh*t”- Joe Rogan Shuts the Door on MMA GOAT Debate With One Name and It’s Not Conor McGregor or Anderson Silva

Joe Rogan has been around in the world of mixed martial arts for a while now and is one of the most experienced people in the field. In fact, back in his younger days, Rogan was a fighter himself.

The color commentator has witnessed the live talents of many MMA legends like Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

In a recent podcast episode with the legendary boxer, Mike Tyson, Joe Rogan revealed who according to him was the greatest MMA fighter of all time.

Rogan backed Demetrious ‘ The Mighty Mouse’ Johnson as the greatest fighter of all time. Demetrious Johnson is a pioneer in the MMA world, during his prime he beat some of the best in the business with his rapid striking skills and his brilliant movement in the octagon.

Rogan said, “It’s hard to say, but it might have been Mighty Mouse. Because when Mighty Mouse was in his prime, he was so magnificent. He was so fast, and he was doing things that you couldn’t believe how he could do.”

“He hit a dude with a suplex and caught him with an armbar on the way down. I’m not exaggerating this. He body dumped this guy and in the process of taking him to the ground, he got him in an armbar…”

“That’s freak of nature type shit. The level of skill and technique you have to have, this is it,” he added.

Rogan praised the Russian-born fighter for his performance. Rogan said, “that dude Khamzat is the fu*cking truth. He got hit with bombs. He got his head spun around backward, never backed off. Right here he got dropped here and immediately dives in and grabs a hold of him, takes him down. I mean he was on queer street right there.”

Rogan truly believes that Chimaev is the next big thing. However, after watching him have a close fight against burn, do you think he has the tools to take on the champion, Kamaru Usman? Let us know in the comments section below.
