Joe Rogan says UFC heavyweight title contender Francis Ngannou is one of the scariest guys he’s ever seen. This is an interesting comment made by the longtime UFC color commentator as he made it after Francis’ latest fight.

In his latest fight, he beat former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez in the headliner of UFC on ESPN 1 by KO in just 26 seconds. The fight took place on Sunday, February 17, 2019, at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. Prior to this fight, Ngannou rebounded in a big way with a first-round knockout over the formerly surging Curtis Blaydes at November 24’s UFC Beijing.

Rogan talked about his belief while doing a Fight Companion podcast for UFC Phoenix.

“He’s so big, dude,” said Rogan (H/T to MMAFighting) . ”He’s so big and so dangerous. He’s incredible. Cain is one of the best of all time, that’s how good Ngannou is. This is the scariest guy I’ve ever seen. I’m telling you, dude, if that guy keeps learning, and it seems like he had a weird spot, but you know what I really like about that weird spot that he got into? He was honest about it. He said, ‘I carried over fear from my last fight.’ A guy that can look at himself that honestly…”

“Francis is the scariest of all time. The thing about Francis is, he’s learning at this really rapid rate when you look at a guy that’s only been doing it for how many years now? 100 percent training, he’s been fighting for maybe five years. I think five years from the time he learned martial arts. Dude, he’s a movie character.”

Following main card fights of most high-profile UFC pay-per-views (PPVs), commentator Joe Rogan interviews fighters after the bout.

Rogan will typically ask fighters to break down the finish of the contest. They evaluate their own performances. Finally, they issue out any statements they’d like to get out in the public.

Recently, Rogan took to his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience” to elaborate on the situation. Rogan revealed that, ultimately, his goal when interviewing fighters is to allow the athletes to express themselves (via BJPenn.com):

“One thing that I hope the fighters realize is that what I’m trying to do is only get them to express themselves. I want them to shine, I really genuinely want them — they won this big fight!

I want them to express themselves, I want them to maybe maximize their marketing, their marketing ability, and just tell the world how they feel. That’s an incredibly unusual experience to win a big fight in the cage on pay-per-view in front of millions of people… My goal is only to try to get them to communicate better and to let them know that I’m there to support them.”

Certain fighters certainly enjoy taking the opportunity to express themselves alongside Rogan. Names like Chael Sonnen, Conor McGregor, Derrick Lewis, and more immediately come to mind.

It will be a pleasure to see how many more special moments Rogan has with fighters. And there are more of them to come, as Rogan isn’t even thinking of retiring anytime soon.

Headline: Joe Rogan Discusses Interviewing UFC Fighters After Bouts

Author: Fernando Quiles Jr.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) color commentator Joe Rogan has revealed the goal of interviewing fighters after their bouts.

Rogan has been with the UFC since 1997, so going in-depth on the background and styles of fighters is nothing new to him. Upon his transition as a color commentator, Rogan eventually found himself interviewing athletes inside the Octagon right after their bouts. It’s a task that Rogan has proved to be more than capable of handling for years.

Joe Rogan Talks Interviewing UFC Fighters

On an edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the UFC color commentator spoke on his interviews (via BJPenn.com):

“One thing that I hope the fighters realize is that what I’m trying to do is only get them to express themselves. I want them to shine. I really genuinely want them — they won this big fight! I want them to express themselves. I want them to maybe maximize their marketing, their marketing ability, and just tell the world how they feel. That’s an incredibly unusual experience to win a big fight in the cage on pay-per-view in front of millions of people… My goal is only to try to get them communicate better and to let them know that I’m there to support them.”

The UFC recently posted a tribute video to Rogan for being a part of the promotion for 22 years. While Rogan has scaled back on his commentary duties, he has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Do you think Joe Rogan does a good job interviewing the fighters after their bouts?
