Joe Rogan Says CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson Fight Should Not Be On UFC 225
Joe Rogan recently had some very harsh words for CM Punk on his podcast. Here are some highlights via mmanytt.com …
On CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson: “He’s now fighting a fighter who’s commensurate in talent and there’s nothing wrong with being a beginner in martial arts,” Rogan said on his podcast when speaking about Punk. “But there’s something wrong with thinking you can be a beginner and fight Mickey Gall. It was a foolish venture. My approach to it was this is going to be a very good lesson for people who are fans of positive thinking and they think that’s enough. That s–t is not enough. If you weight 110 pounds, you can positive think your way to the bank, Francis Ngannou’s still going to punch your brains out. There’s just no way around it. A guy who really has very little experience in martial arts and has rudimentary control of his body…that’s what I saw when I saw him training. When I saw him training I thought ‘oh my god this guy’s gonna get killed’. He belongs here [against Mike Jackson].”
On The Fight Making The UFC 225 Main Card: It shouldn’t even be on the ‘Tuesday Night Contender’ show. It should be in some amateur event somewhere,” Rogan said. “That’s really what they are. They’re guys learning how to compete. “They’re in the first fight on the pay-per-view. That’s f–king crazy.”
