Joe Rogan recently made headlines when during one of his podcasts, he ranked Jorge Masvidal above Georges St-Pierre as an MMA fighter. His statement deservedly got a lot of attention and most of the fight fans criticized the UFC color commentator for having such a ridiculous opinion.

Chael Sonnen who is from the same era as St-Pierre didn’t like what Rogan said about the fighter. Sonnen has a great amount of support for Rogan however, accused him of smoking marijuana to be able to come up with such statements. According to Sonnen, claims like this shouldn’t be taken seriously and like in the old days should be ignored completely.

He said: “when somebody said something stupid when they were stoned, you would say ‘he’s on drugs.’ Now that we have a doper — named Joe Rogan, in this case — saying that today’s fighters are better than Georges St-Pierre. That’s not an rational statement. I will like to correct you to what a non-420 mind can come up with. Joe got to that point by stating that the competition is harder now than it was then. What does the competition have to do with the guy?” 

Rogan believes that currently the competition in UFC is way higher but many fans including Sonnen will agree that GSP would have dominated everybody despite the era he is fighting.

As expected, Joe’s Comments about comparing Jorge Masvidal and Georges St-Pierre did hit a lot of attention and Masvidal also got to know about him. The fighter in a recent interview with MMA Junkie shared his thoughts about Rogan’s comments. 

 Masvidal explained that he believes Rogan is a true encyclopedia and expert on MMA and UFC history. According to ‘Gamebred’, he was truly moved to hear such words from Rogan

He said: “Joe’s been watching the sport forever, and he truly is like an encyclopedia. So, for him to consider me one of the better fighters to have ever lived is – f*ck man, that’s a real life notch for me right there, man. That guy, I consider him a f*ckin true connoisseur of the sport.”

Rogan’s comment should be taken as subjective as he’s been around and seen that much to have an opinion. However, no matter how fans see it, Rogan will be getting mocked for this statement of his.
