A UFC enthusiast posted a clip from the podcast featuring Sean O’Malley on Twitter. However, fans took to the comments section to reveal their opinion on Rogan’s words.

Fans react to Joe Rogan’s opinion

Recently, a Twitter user by the name of Borrachinha Depot tweeted a video clip of JRE MMA Show episode #133. The clip showed Joe Rogan and Sean O’Malley talking about Alex Pereira and Henry Cejudo. 

‘Sugar’ made a claim that ‘Messenger’ was a better fighter than the Brazilian ‘Poatan’; because ‘Triple C’ won a gold. Although O’Malley revealed that he heard someone say that Pereira was the greatest combat sports athlete, he couldn’t bring Cejudo’s image down. However, the UFC commentator had different views. He said, “He won a gold medal in the Olympics. However, Pereira, when he’s fighting in Glory, he’s fighting elite professionals. Whereas Henry is wrestling amateurs.”

During the podcast, the fan-favorite UFC commentator showed his amazement at Pereira’s physique. He said, “That’s crazy! That’s so big. He’s a heavyweight!

Additionally, Rogan believed Pereira to be highly technical, as he recalled his fight with Israel Adesanya. He said, “Dude, he’s f**king technical, too, man. It’s not just power. The way he’s setting Izzy up.” Moreover, the former Fear Factor host claimed that the ‘Poatan’ checks his kicks extremely well, adding to his murderous left hook. “If you watch his left leg, when he’s fighting, when he’s stomping forward, he checks everything”, he exclaimed.
