Rogan had only one thing in his mind when “DC” asked him this question.

“I think it says more about Francis. I think Francis is just a special dude. I don’t imagine, no, I don’t think. I don’t imagine.” said Rogan. The 56-year-old emphasizes that Ngannou is something special in-between the fighters. When “DC” asked whether he could imagine any other fighter to be like him, Rogan asserted that he did not see anyone as close as him and that Ngannou’s just a special guy.
