Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry should have been ‘Bare knuckle, p*ssy’ says Joe Rogan

UFC color-commentator, Joe Rogan has claimed BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) star, Mike Perry missed a step by not urging summer boxing rival, Jake Paul to share the ring sans gloves, describing the Michigan striker as “different.

Perry, a former welterweight contender under the banner of the UFC, made his return to the professional boxing ring on short-notice back in July in Florida, suffering a sixth round knockout loss against Ohio boxer, Paul in their grudge fight.

The outing came as Mike Perry’s sophomore in the boxing ring, following a brief appearance in the squared circle back in 2015 — and also snapped an impressive five-fight winning run since his move to the David Feldman-led, BKFC.

Headlining BKFC Knucklemania IV back in April of this year against former UFC welterweight title challenger, Thiago Alves, Perry made lightwork of the Brazilian — stopping him with a first round TKO win inside the opening minute at the light heavyweight limit.

Joe Rogan laments Jake Paul – Mike Perry fight wasn’t in BKFC

And off the back of his success since his move to BKFC, according to the above-mentioned Octagon caller, Rogan, Flint striker, Perry missed a step by not urging Paul to fight him without gloves in their summer pairing.

We were talking about Mike Perry before, that’s the perfect spot [BKFC] for that dude,” Joe Rogan said on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. He should’ve told Jake Paul, ‘Listen, we need to fight but let’s do bare-knuckle, p*ssy. Let’s go.’ It’s a different thing with that guy.”

Set for his return to the ring later this year, outspoken Ohio native, Paul is slated to headline a Netflix broadcast event against former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson in November — vowing to stop the 58-year-old with a devastating knockout in their pairing in ‘The Lone Star State’.

Joe Rogan Reveals the One Thing he Would Change About the UFC: “Better for the longevity. Better for the health.”

If it were up to Joe Rogan, there would be no weight-cutting in the UFC.

Cutting weight has been a part of the sport since UFC 12 when the promotion first introduced weight classes. Of course, the process wasn’t as common then as it is today, but there are those, like long-time UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who believes that cutting weight should not be part of the sport whatsoever.

“You should find out where you f*cking really weigh and fight at what you really weigh at,” Rogan said while speaking with John Rallo, Din Thomas, and Matt Serra on a recent episode of his JRE podcast. “It shouldn’t be the Ultimate Weight-Cutting Championship.

“[Not weight-cutting is better] for everything. Better for the longevity. Better for the health of your physical body that is literally your weapon of war.”

While fans have very little opportunity to see just how devastating a difficult weight cut can be for a fighter, there have been some particularly scary moments directly related to the much-maligned practice. In 2021, flyweight competitor Julia Stoliarenko fainted on the scale while weighing in for her fight with Julia Avila.

Stoliarenko regained consciousness, got back on the scale, and made weight before fainting a second time. The bout was ultimately canceled.

“If nobody ever cut weight and then all of a sudden everybody started cutting weight, everybody [would say] ‘What the f*ck is this sh*t? You’re not 170 pounds,” Rogan added. “This is a lie. How are you the 170-pound champion when you weigh 200 pounds? That’s crazy.”

Joe Rogan Praises ONE Championship’s Hydration Testing to Curb Weight Cutting

Unfortunately, weight-cutting is likely here to stay, but some promotions like ONE Championship have attempted to curb the unsettling trend of dehydrating oneself to dangerous levels via hydration tests. In ONE, fighters must pass both weight and hydration to be cleared, a practice Rogan applauds.

“It’s a different world when there’s no weight cutting,” Rogan said on his podcast in 2019. “I’m just such a giant fan of that no-weight-cutting deal they’re doing over at ONE FC. Hydration tests, the way it’s explained to me is say you’re the 170 [pounds] champion, they say you’re gonna fight 185, there’s no weight cutting.”

Do you think it’s time for MMA to abandon weight-cutting in favor of fighters competing in their natural weight class?

Donald Trump Calls Joe Rogan “Sort of a Liberal Guy” as Spat Continues

Presidential candidate Donald Trump is not happy with talk show host Joe Rogan. Earlier this year, Rogan picked someone else for his vote and Trump and his followers did not take kindly to this.

Donald Trump On Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan is the industry leader when it comes to talk show podcasts. In a prior 2024 episode, he said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was the only presidential candidate that made sense, when he claimed, “He’s the only one that makes sense to me.”

The thin-skinned Donald Trump and the sensitive MAGA followers were triggered by this and began attacking Rogan. Trump threatened that Rogan would be Bood at the next UFC event. Long-time listeners of Rogan were confused and angry.

Rogan quickly changed his tune in response and had a full change of heart after the outcry. Donald Trump held firm in attacking Joe Rogan in a recent interview. Trump said:

“I’ve only seen him when I walk into the arena with Dana [White] and I shake his hand, I see him there. I think he’s good at what he does, but I don’t know about doing his podcast… I’m not asking anybody. It’s not really a negotiation, and he’s sort of a liberal guy I guess, from what I understand. But he likes Kennedy, this was before he came in with us.” [Ht BJPenn]

RFK Jr once ran as an independent but has fallen in line and submitted to Trump. But, RFK has not been kind in his past remarks on Donald Trump. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called Donald Trump terms such as frightened, barely coherent, and a terrible president.

Joe Rogan, formerly of NewsRadio and Fear Factor, has found huge success in his long-form talk show podcast which boasts millions of listeners. Rogan has also been a long-time employee of the UFC, of which UFC president Dana White is a close friend of Trump and is even an RNC speaker.

Ken Shamrock Recalls Joe Rogan’s Lion’s Den Extreme Training: “Tougher than what you’d face in a fight”

Joe Rogan has often spoken about his experiences training with Ken Shamrock and his legendary team, the Lion’s Den. This experience showed Rogan with an early look at one of the most rigorous training environments in MMA history.

Ken Shamrock and Joe Rogan Training

The MMA pioneer Ken Shamrock trained through the legendary Pancrase system and nearly died in that gym. He then took those exact same standards, to his gym, the Lion’s Den, in the USA.

The Lion’s Den was one of the first true MMA teams. It was known for its brutal training regimen designed to prepare fighters for the toughest challenges in the ring. Shamrock’s philosophy was simple: make training harder than any fight.

Joe Rogan has described the Lion’s Den as one of the most difficult teams to join. The tryouts for the Lion’s Den were notoriously grueling. Prospective members had to complete a series of physically demanding tasks, including hundreds of squats, push-ups, and sit-ups, as well as sprints and runs while carrying a partner of equal weight. This was followed by hours of sparring.

When asked about this in an interview, Ken Shamrock reflected on his time with Joe Rogan and explained:

“Yes, the concept of our training was to make everything in the gym tougher than what you’d face in a fight. We’d put fighters in extremely difficult situations to prepare them. For example, in Japan, I was constantly pushed by fresh opponents every minute, which made me work hard to stay on top. I brought that same concept to the Lion’s Den. Our training aimed to ensure that no matter how tough a fighter got, they would be ready for any challenge.

“We held brutal tryouts to find individuals with the right mindset for our type of training. Those who passed would live in a house together, allowing us full control over their conditioning and training. This setup was different from what the Gracies were doing in Brazil. The Gracies were more focused on belt testing and didn’t train as a cohesive fighting team. The Lion’s Den was specifically structured for fighting, with consistent training among the same group of fighters.“

Joe Rogan blown away by Ilia Topuria’s superb pad work: ‘F*cking phenomenal’

Ahead of his title fight return at UFC 308 at the end of the October, unbeaten featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria has received massive praise from veteran promotional color-commentator, Joe Rogan — who heaped praise on his striking and hand speed.

Topuria, the undisputed featherweight champion, who is currently in the midst of a stunning 15-fight unbeaten professional run, most recently crowned himself as the gold holder back in February in the main event of UFC 299, stopping Australian kingpin, Alexander Volkanovski with a stunning second round KO win.

And now booked to take on symbolic BMF champion, Max Holloway in Abu Dhabi at UFC 308 in two months’ time, Topuria received massive praise for his striking work in some new training footage, by promotional caller, Rogan.

“Ilia Topuria is one of the absolute best fighters in the world,” Joe Rogan said on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. “The dude is just f*cking phenomenal. One of the things that is phenomenal about him is his technique. Watch him hit the punches. See how he’s moving his head when guy throws punches? Slipping just slightly.”

“The speed, man, the f*cking speed of that,” Joe Rogan explained. “Look at the hand speed. F*cking incredible. If you know how difficulty that is to do and do it that fast. I mean, these are like five, six punches a second and just phenomenal technique.”

Previewing his matchup with Hawaiian striker, Holloway later this year at UFC 308, Topuria claimed the matchup with the former featherweight gold holder was more than easy.

“If he’s (Max Holloway) going to bring the same energy he brings in the last 10 seconds of every round, when he doest his (point to ground), I’m going to knock him out in the first round,” Ilia Topuria told MMA Junkie. “Because in the moment he’s going to stop in the middle and start to exchange and punches with me. I recommend him to use a helmet, because he’s going to need.”

If he does it, even better for me,” Ilia Topuria explained. “Maybe I’m going to point to the ground. Maybe I will do all that because I’m going to feel so comfortable in that fight because I’m telling you, ever time I see him fight I’m like, ‘Everyone is going to be surprised when I knock him out,’ because I see him as luke such an easy matchup for me. If he thinks that I’m not right, prove me wrong. We’re going to be in the same Octagon, October 26. prove me wrong.”
