Rogan quickly leaped onto the opening asking ‘The Highlight’ if this was the fight he wanted to have.
“I do. I want to shut him up. I’d love that I really would.”
“I can fight him right now if I wanted to and everyone would say that I am lying and if it was there, I would take it and Daniel Cormier said that the other day. I’m not that fighter. For one, I have the opportunity to do something that can be unmatched in the history of our sport. To go in there, to come of the circumstances. To beat Tony like I did, go beat Khabib, go beat Conor, that’s legendary.”
Rogan picked up on the order and probed as to why he says ‘Notorious’ right now if ‘The Eagle’ is his next opponent.
“Well, he’s calling me out,” said ‘The Highlight’, before Rogan intervened saying he doesn’t think it’s real.
