AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan's reputation is built upon his fearless demeanor, extensive knowledge, and deep involvement with the UFC. Beyond being a stand-up comedian and prominent podcaster, Rogan consistently offers a voice of reason in various contexts.
A notable instance of this was his recent conversation with comedian Bryan Callen on the Joe Rogan podcast, where they delved into the possibility of a showdown between Derrick Lewis and Brendan Schaub.
Rogan's podcast platform frequently hosts discussions with celebrities, making it one of Spotify's most triumphant shows. His outspoken nature came to the forefront when he playfully critiqued American singer Lizzo's 'Big Grrrls' performance during a recent podcast episode.
Joe Rogan slams the idea of 'Schaub vs Lewis'
In the podcast episode, Rogan learned that Jorje Masvidal, the promoter of Gamebred Boxing, had made an appearance on the 'Fighter and Kid' podcast. During this appearance, Masvidal conveyed to Schaub that there was always the option for him to re-enter the old cage.
Masvidal dangled the prospect of a substantial 'multi-seven figure' payout in front of the former MMA fighter, alluding to a potentially monumental fight involving Lewis.
Bryan Callen noted that this idea might have merit, and he even contemplated the notion of attempting to grapple with Lewis. In response, Rogan interjected with a sarcastic comment, asking, "Do you want to die?"
He emphasized Lewis' exceptional prowess, describing how his punches can transport individuals to alternate dimensions due to their sheer force.
Rogan recalled an instance when Lewis knocked out Curtis Blades with a devastating uppercut, calling it the most extraordinary power in the history of the sport.
Rogan said, "Do you want to die? He hits you so f**king hard, you just cease to exist in this plane. When he knocked out Curtis Blades with that uppercut. Curtis Blades is a big man. He's a big man. And when Derek landed an uppercut and just flat-lined him, it just face-planted him. I'm like, good Lord. What is that, what is that power? It's the best power in the history of the sport."
Joe Rogan fans say Callen must be 'trolling' him
After Rogan's discussion about the potential Schaub vs Lewis matchup, numerous users stepped forward to share their perspectives. One wrote, "He must be trolling Joe.. There's no other way ?" Another said, "Joe Rogan might be the best friend anyone can ask for."
A user stated, "Can Derrick Lewis make us forget Brendan's comedy career?" Someone commented, "Not only does he have no chance but Bryan Callen acts like Schaub has the technique or power to "just blast a double leg" lol it's like Rogan saying Rousey had a chance to box Mayweather it's just absurd."
