Joe Rogan talks about the most brutal knockout

The bout between Michael ‘Venom’ Page and Evangelista Santos took place in 2016 at Bellator 158. When the bout reached the second round, Page landed a flying knee on ‘Cyborg’s forehead. This resulted in his skull getting crushed. When Perry talked about Page and the power of his legs. Rogan said, “He is very dangerous. The knockout of Cyborg was f*cking crazy. That was crazy. I mean, he caved his forehead in.” After listening to the shocking tale, Perry responded, “With his legs, that’s what I’m saying. His legs are dangerous. It’s interesting for me, you know. I’m hungry for fights. I want to fight all these moth**f*ckers.

‘Venom’ is one of the toughest fighters that the world has witnessed. Now, after having a glorious career in MMA, he is looking for new challenges in boxing. It is Page’s fighting style that makes him stand out from the rest. His MMA moves originate from a mixture of Kung Fu, Karate, and Taekwondo. Due to the same reason, his opponents find it hard to stand against him as his moves are totally unpredictable. One of his most remarkable fighting styles is the ‘drunken monkey’ style.

"Like many, my journey into the beautiful game began by watching the mesmerizing Lionel Messi, as his impeccable vision on the pitch and role as a playmaker, meticulously calculating the path to goal always amazed me. This fascination with the finer details of soccer strategy naturally extended to my interest in content strategy. However, my zeal for being a soccer content analyst is not only because of Messi's magic, as I am a keen follower of the Becks as well. While in David Beckham, it was a special affinity for his mastery of crosses, passes, and set pieces, in Victoria Beckham, the fashion queen, I find inspiration in how she masterfully navigated the world of aesthetics and brand identity. This unique blend of admiration for both the tactical intricacies of soccer and the world of fashion and entertainment helps me to cover the game from angles that seamlessly balance sport and entertainment. Before joining EssentiallySports, I worked as a content analyst as well. A Master's degree in English and Comparative Literature from a premiere institute has helped me hone my writing skills and given me a unique perspective on the world of sports. Interestingly, besides soccer, I also extensively covered UFC, especially the Joe Rogan podcast. In my free time, I enjoy reading and keeping up with the latest developments in the world of sports.
