Joe Rogan on Alexander Volkanovski vs Brian Ortega at UFC 266

Joe Rogan was shell-shocked after watching Alexander Volkanovski vs Brian Ortega at UFC 266.

UFC commentator and celebrity Joe Rogan believes Alexander Volkanovski is as tough as they come and the Aussie lived up to that statement at the main event of UFC 266. “The Great” defended his title against “T-City” Brian Ortega in the main event of the pay-per-view event this past weekend. Both the fighters put on one of the best displays of MMA fighting the UFC has ever seen. There is no doubt that the fight is a serious contender for Fight Of The Year.

There is no doubt that the two featherweights made sure they make UFC commentator Rogan regret not commentating this fight live in the packed T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a recent episode of his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, he spoke about the enthralling moments where Volkanovski escaped two deadly chokes from Ortega in the five-round fight.

In the recent episode, Joe talks with his comedian friend, Bert Kreischer about the main event fight. In his opinion, if there was someone in this world that could escape a choke that tight, it was Alex Volkanovski. Rogan was also stunned how Ortega managed to get in a choke that tight and good against a world champion. “The way he slipped it in on a world champion and the guy got out!” Joe exclaimed.

“That kind of a guillotine with a guy like that is death! And that crazy motherf**ker from Australia got out where 99.99% of people who ever lived would’ve tapped out. That’s savage and it’s like not today b*tch, I’d rather die!” Rogan said in full excitement.
