The dynamic duo went over all things related to Snoop Dogg’s Super Bowl appearance and his injection into the fight game. Chiefly, his insights into both worlds led to a rather contrasting conversation about the UFC and the music industry.

“One thing about the UFC, that torch is definitely going to get passed. And when it get passed, it’s all about who can hold on to it and hold it the longest. It’s always somebody coming to get your a**.”
Rogan shared this sentiment as he’s seen such occurrences take place firsthand with his time with the UFC.
“There’s some guys that can hold it off until they retire. If you just stay in it long enough, eventually someone coming up is going to get you.”
Snoop Dogg then went on to say that he was surprised he is still relevant in the rap game despite being a yesteryear icon. From his vantage point, the music industry too moves along quickly, much like the fight game.
“That’s in everything though. Even in the music industry, it’s always been like that. It’s a young man’s game. That’s why I’m surprise I’m still in it.”

Do the greats walk away too early in the UFC?
Recently, we have seen the trend that great fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Henry Cejudo have chosen to walk away while being on top. Additionally, Kamaru Usman who is looking to cement his place in the history books, also believes his days are numbered in the UFC.
This trend of fighters walking away early certainly leads one to believe that fighters are looking to preserve their legacy. They are keen to walk out with the accolades still intact and with the knowledge that newer fans will look at their resumes with reverence.
