Both fighters faced each other in a fight at UFC 252 on 16th August 2020.

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.

Sean O’Malley talked about the importance of healthy food

Sean O’Malley appeared on the JRE MMA podcast with Rogan. In episode #30, the bantamweight fighter revealed the impact of consuming a healthy diet.

He complained about a back problem that hurt due to a poor diet. “It was nothing… it was literally from eating sh***y foods” He always felt a pain in his back and this was not something that the doctors could identify. He complained to his mother about this lower back pain, but upon visiting the doctor, they found it to be normal.
