Joe Rogan rates some Bellator MMA fighters highly

Joe Rogan gave his take on Bellator MMA. He regards some of the fighters in Bellator MMA highly and said they could even beat some fighters in the UFC. He explained to his guest, “Bellator was always considered like the B league… It was always like the guys who fought, there could never fight in the UFC. I was like maybe some of them. But I don’t think that’s the case with guys over there at Bellator. Guys like Douglas Lima that I could think could beat anybody in the world.”

Furthermore, the UFC commentator said in his podcast, “They just have to be in a situation where they could fight them.” Moreover, the controversial commentator gave an example of Ben Askren. He stated, “That’s what I felt about Ben Askren at that time. … He was so f*****g good man… His wrestling was so above and beyond of what everybody else’s was. He would get a hold of you. When you are going down you are going for a ride baby. And you couldn’t stand up with them because you are always worried that if you committed to a strike he’s gonna grab an ankle and grab your f*****g waist.”
