Iconic UFC commentator Joe Rogan is a talking encyclopedia on the promotion. His years of experience and immense knowledge of the sport and the fighters make his job easier.

Rogan also hosts the famous podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ on Spotify and has a large viewership base there.

In the latest episode of the podcast, Rogan invited over former UFC champion BJ Penn. They had an entertaining three-hour-long discussion over various topics, including mental warfare before fights.

Penn was explaining how it is important to be mentally strong and prepared for a fight. This reminded Rogan of the infamous McGregor-Aldo fight where everyone was surprised how it ended.

Rogan said, “That was one of the things that seemed to weigh heavy on Aldo when he was meeting up with Conor. Like particularly for the first fight, for the first fight that Conor fought for the title when he knocked him out quick.”

“It seemed like Aldo was emotionally invested in that fight because Conor talked so much s**t for so long. They promoted that thing for months and months right. And Conor was just disrespectful.”

Penn chimed in, “Grabbed his belt,” reminding him of the incident from a press meet before the fight.

He added how Aldo was one of the dangerous guys during his prime, but ‘The Notorious’ got into his mind. “Nobody was ever like that with Aldo, everybody always was respectful of him. He was dangerous. I mean Aldo in his prime, again in his prime, he was a bad motherf**ker. That Chad Mendes knockout, Brazil… you think of some of Aldo’s favorite fights. Aldo in his prime was a f**king wizard.”
