Few voices carry as much weight as Joe Rogan’s. The veteran commentator has seen countless fighters come and go. But every so often, a talent emerges that makes even Rogan sit up and take notice. This is the case of Ilia Topuria, the Spanish-Georgian phenom who’s been turning heads in the UFC.
Rogan recently couldn’t contain his excitement when discussing Topuria’s skills in a recent episode of his Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. He gushed about the fighter’s technique, speed, and overall ability.
”The dude is just f***ing phenomenal. One of the things that is phenomenal about him is his technique… The speed, man, The f***ing speed of that. Look at the hand speed. F***ing incredible,” said Rogan.
Rogan zeroed in on Topuria’s pad work, a sight that left him genuinely awestruck. He marveled at the fighter’s hand speed. But it wasn’t just the speed that impressed Rogan. He highlighted Topuria’s impeccable technique and head movement. His ability to slip punches would make Neo from ‘The Matrix’ proud.
Ilia Topuria prepares for his upcoming clash with Max Holloway at UFC 308, and his confidence is sky-high. The Iron chinned Holloway has tasted gold before and is hungry to get his hands on it once more. Fans are in anticipation of this epic UFC 308 fight.
