Rogan was commentating on the match between the fighters. He heard a statement from his fellow commentator, Jon Anik. Anik claimed that “These guys are so long… in their lower halves, Joe” and “Both of these guys, from hip to foot, have a longer leg reach than Stipe Miočić…”

The comedian couldn’t believe this fact about them and exclaimed, “What? How’s that possible?” and added, “That’s ridiculous.”

Stipe Miocic, a former Heavyweight champion, has a height of 6’4 feet. The fighter is fearsome looking and has an amazing reach. So the fact that O’Malley and Vera can outreach them with their legs was pretty astounding for Joe Rogan.
