Joe Rogan‘s legendary kick is renowned for its power, so much so that it has become a benchmark for many in the UFC. Few have been able to match the sheer force of Rogan‘s kick, let alone surpass it. However, that did not stop Stephen Thompson, aka ‘Wonderboy’, from attempting to break Rogan‘s mammoth record of 152,000 franklins on the PowerKube. However, even Thompson‘s impressive skills were not enough to break this incredible feat.

Despite his impressive skills, Thompson‘s attempt fell short, and the record remained unbroken. But where ‘Wonderboy’ failed, his brother Tony Thompson, a.k.a ‘Sweet T’, succeeded in achieving what many thought was impossible. With his mighty kick, ‘Sweet T’ was able to generate an incredible 172,923 franklins on the PowerKube; surpassing Rogan‘s record by a significant margin.
