During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan and Eddie Bravo discussed the sparring match between UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and Halfthor Bjornnsen.
Bjornsen stars on the HBO television show Game of Thrones and plays as The Mountain.
On his podcast, Rogan said he’d be interested in seeing a super heavyweight division in the UFC and would like to see guys like Bjornsen compete.
Bjornsen weighs almost 400 pounds and competes in strong man competitions.
In 2015, McGregor sparred with Bjornsen. McGregor used his speed against the much larger man and frustrated the television star.
In the video below, you can listen to McGregor and Bravo talk about McGregor sparring against Bjornsen while watching the two fight.
When competing against people his own size, McGregor is one of the greatest MMA fighters in the world today. Later this month, McGregor will test his skills in the world of boxing.
On Aug. 26, McGregor will fight Floyd “Money” Mayweather at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
