Rogan pointed out the same in his caption of the post. Moreover, he was in awe of Wilder’s power.  The 55-year-old wrote, “It’s absolutely f**king amazing the power that @bronzebomber can generate. He’s truly unlike anyone I’ve ever seen in the history of the heavyweight division. You can make no mistakes with this man.”

Meanwhile, the comedian also called the American boxer an anomaly further in the caption. He said, “There have been many incredible KO artists in the history of boxing, but for my money, he’s the most impressive. If you look at this punch, it wasn’t even with full leverage and his opponent instantly shuts off.”

Rogan concluded by mentioning the words of famous MMA coach Firas Zahabi, who calls Wilders’s power, “the touch of death.”
