Joe Rogan Experience once again saw the return of its famous MMA show, featuring top mixed martial artists. In the latest edition of the podcast, Rogan brought onboard UFC’s bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling, who recently defended his title against the Russian fighter, Petr Yan. Sterling silenced his critics once and for all with this outing, cementing his place as the true champion of the 135 lbs weight class.

Sterling looked back on the early days of the lower weight classes, which originally came from another MMA promotion to UFC. In the early days, WEC made room for the smaller fighters and came with 135 lbs, 145 lbs, and 155 lbs. Their merger with UFC brought the likes of Urijah Faber, Dominick Cruz, Carlos Condit, Benson Henderson, Jose Aldo, and many more legendary names to the promotion.

During the conversation, ‘The Funkmaster’ and Joe Rogan touched upon the star-studded roster, and out of them, how Cruz continues to be at the top level, despite assuming more roles.

UFC Icon laid down the list of his favorite co-workers. He said, “My favorite go-to guys are in no particular order. Dominick Cruz, DC (Daniel Cormier), and Paul Felder. Those are my favorite guys and I really used to love Dan Hardy. I really wish they didn’t stop using Dan Hardy.”

 

The American mixed martial artist also offers his expertise as an analyst and color commentator, aside from being a fighter. Rogan offered his takes on the new breed of former fighters taking the analyst roles and named his favorites, but sadly, it did not include Jon Anik.

Joe Rogan showered words of praise on Dominick Cruz

Looking at such a long career of the 37-year-old mixed martial artist. Joe Rogan could not help but shell out heaps of praises for the UFC veteran and all he had accomplished. He not only picked up the bantamweight gold on two occasions but also fought off career-ending injuries in more than one instance.

He said, “He is still very good, he is still f***g world-class man. There’s a lot of money in him, obviously, because Dominick Cruz is a giant name. Dominick is also a broadcaster, a super respected commentator. In my opinion, he is one of the best commentators.”
