Being a combat sports fanatic and color commentator for UFC, Joe Rogan often finds himself talking about it on his podcast. In the recent episode of Joe Rogan Experience (#1814), the UFC icon invited popular journalist, Radio Rahim, to talk about a potential Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou crossover bout.
The retired boxer, Tyson Fury, finished his professional career with 32-wins and no losses. On the other, the 35-year-old mixed martial artist has captured the world title in the UFC. Both men have shown an interest in facing one another, and the final bout could end up carrying a special mixed rules match. Rogan described Ngannou’s biggest KO, which compelled Rahim to say something funny.

Joe Rogan stated, “Francis can clinch you and hold on to you and just punch in the face… in a way that is illegal in boxing. Watch this again.” Rahim praised the UFC champion for securing a devastating KO, but he wasn’t impressed with Ngannou’s boxing ability.
He retorted by suggesting his technique fit right in with a Hollywood star. He iterated, ” I know but look at that, from the hip like it, that’s a Will Smith punch man.” Rogan could not hold back his laughter, as he tried to calm himself down and went to explain why Ngannou fought like that.
” It’s a terrible technique in that regard but he is doing it because he knew the opening was there, he was just winging it,” Rogan added.
Apart from this, several fans have been curious about Ngannou’s presence in the recently held Tyson Fury’s match against Dillian Whyte.
