Josh Emmett had one of the most brutal knockout victories in 2023. Emmet knocked out Bryce Mitchell at UFC 295 with a brutal overhand right and possibly caused a seizure on Mitchell. Emmett’s power was a topic of discussion in the recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that had Kid Rock as the guest.

Rogan was in the commentary booth at UFC 295 and had witnessed Emmett’s knockout of Mitchell. Moreover, Kid Rock was front row at UFC 296 along with former US President Donald Trump. Both Rogan and Rock were in awe of the knockout, and they spoke of it on JRE. Nonetheless, this is what Rogan said about Emmett.

Josh Emmett might be the hardest puncher in that division...He hits so hard...Josh Emmett is just a ball of muscle...that guy hits anybody, they go night night... Cr*zy power man. His power is preposterous!

Kid Rock agreed with Rogan’s assessment. Moreover, he went on to state that he thought Mitchell was dead after the knockout blow. This was due to the sound of the punch that Kid Rock felt at UFC 295. Kid Rock also revealed that he had only witnessed a handful of UFC events, but what he witnessed at UFC 295 was worth it.
