Joe Rogan - trash talks and Quotes

“Greatest post fight speech of all time... For him [Adesanya] to catch it with that perfect right hand off the cage like that and that shoot the arrows into him. Greatest post fight celebration, greatest post fight speech of all time. There’s not even a second place, except Rose Namajunas that one time when she was saying ‘I am the best.”

– via the Joe Rogan Experience, praising Israel Adesanya’s victory over Alex Pereira at UFC 287, labeling both his speech and arrow celebration as the best in the history of the sport.

“If they don't do jon jones at the white house, i think it would be a travesty”

– via The Joe Rogan Experience, arguing that it would be a "travesty" if Jon Jones is not included on the UFC White House event card.

“F**k, what a masterclass. When you’re going to fight a guy like merab, that is the masterclass. He put on a clinic... His training camp must’ve been hell, had to be hell, and he looked like it. I saw some videos of it. Some wild strength and conditioning, and plyometrics. He knew what he was in for. That’s the thing, if you’re going to fight a guy like merab, you know what the mountain is. Are you ready to climb it?”

– via JRE MMA Show, praising Petr Yan's performance against Merab Dvalishvili as a "masterclass" and a "clinic.

“Well, if they don’t do jon jones at the white house it’s going to be a travesty. Dana's like, ‘you can’t count on him,’ you can f*****g count on him, come on, stop”

– via youtube in a podcast with Brendan Allen, arguing against Dana White's skepticism and insisting that Jon Jones should be included in the UFC White House card.

“I think he can do it. I think he can do it if he takes time and puts weight on… cause he is tall and also the thing is these gaps in wrestling, these gaps in grappling, when the guy’s a really good grappler, when you are taking on dricus [du plessis], who is really a striker. He is a good grappler, a good jiu jitsu guy but there are levels and the kind of guy like khamzat, like man, you gotta be a f****g olympic level wrestler to scrap with that guy”

– via podcast with Brendan Allen, praising Khamzat Chimaev and suggesting that he could successfully move up a weight class if he gains weight, noting that Chimaev's elite grappling skills (which he compares to "f****g Olympic level wrestler" status) give him a massive advantage.

“The heavyweight division is so devoid of talent. Gable Steveson is the f**king guy, that's the guy. He is not even in the UFC yet. Olympic gold medalist, f**king freak athlete, 250 pounds, moves like a cat. I sent a text message to Dana White, I sent a video of Gable's last fight, I said 'everyone's f**ked everyone's f**ked when this guy comes out,' he KO'd this guy with his left hand and took him down as he was knocked down”

– speaking on The Joe Rogan Podcast, strongly praising Gable Steveson's potential and athleticism, suggesting he is the future star of the UFC heavyweight division.

“Dude [Makhachev] goes up one weight class, goes up to 170. He was the 155 pound most dominant champion ever. Most title defenses at 155 ever. Just dominates at 170, like every round. People are saying it’s boring, but listen, man, it’s boring if you’re a casual. The fact that he was able to do it every round... It was a little frustrating because you wanted Jack to try to adjust, but he couldn’t, man. Islam shut his game down right away. He low kicked the hell out of his front leg real quick. Had him limping real quick. Within the first round, he had hit it three or four times bad”

– On Islam Makhachev's Dominance at UFC 322

“Make it 225 pounds. Alex still is the light heavyweight champion; make it a catchweight fight.It doesn’t have to be for a title. Make it the ‘Bad Motherf*cker Upper Edition.’ You have the ‘BMF’ belt for 155ers. Who is the real BMF? Do you think any one of those guys can beat Alex Pereira? You think you can get a 155 pounder in there against Alex Pereira? Does Max Holloway survive against Alex Pereira? No! Shut the f*ck up. That’s the bad motherf*cker.”

“The Jon Jones, Alex Pereira fight will probably be the biggest fight in human history, in MMA.As a matchup, you’ve got the greatest of all time in Jon Jones, and arguably the most destructive striker that’s ever competed. No one is like that guy”

“I don't think he's ever going to beat Khamzat Chimaev.”

“On Khabib's perfect record”

– The Joe Rogan Experience Fight Companion","I think Gleison is the one guy that should've beaten him. Khabib's got an undefeated record. There's an asterisk. They had a very close fight that I thought Khabib lost.
