Floyd Mayweather Jr. is now officially set to face off against kickboxing phenom Tenshin Nasukawa at Rizin 14 on Dec. 31. The bout will take place under “special rules,” which have yet to be revealed.

Taking to Instagram, Joe Rogan has now come forward with his thoughts on the matter. Check it out below.

“I’m sure many of you combat sports fans have heard that @floydmayweather has signed to face @tenshin.nasukawa in Japan on New Years Eve. I don’t know what kind of “special rules” they’re supposed to be fighting under but I just like the fact that it’s going to happen and that people get to google Tenshin’s name and see some of his fights. He’s a true striking genius. I doubt Floyd is going to agree to any rules that allow Tenshin to kick, but if he does it could be a terrible night for him. This kid is the truth. #Repost @tenshin.nasukawa”
