“He Got That Power but He Don’t Have the Boxing Skill”- Joe Rogan and Marlon Vera Explain the Fall of Deontay Wilder

UFC color commentator and American podcast host, Joe Rogan, called in Marlon Vera for the latest episode of his podcast. Rogan sat down with Vera, an Ecuadorian mixed martial artist who competes in the bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

UFC has ranked ‘Chito’ no. 8 in the bantamweight rankings. Additionally, Aljamain Sterling reigns over this division as the bantamweight champion. While on the podcast, the two touched on various topics ranging from weight-ins, Sean O’Malley, to Chuck Norris.

Consequently, the subject of lazy people and them making excuses came up. This led to Marlon sharing his opinion on fighters, making excuses after their loss. He shared, “That’s a f***ing excuse. You lose. You lose. Take it like a man. ” 

Joe Rogan brought Deontay Wilder’s name in the mix. He shared his astonishment at Wilder’s ‘got poisoned’ and the ‘dress being too heavy’ excuses for his defeat against Tyson Fury. ‘Chito’ also added, “I was like, shut the f**k, I can’t believe that. He got that power but he don’t have the boxing skill. Power is like a blessing, but the rest you have to work for that. You have to work on the skill.”

Joe Rogan concluded that Deontay Wilder’s power is like a blessing and a curse, both at the same time.
