Joe Rogan
UFC commentator Joe Rogan is truly not biased when it comes to calling fights or handling his duties at the UFC. He’s a true professional when it comes to this. But, he didn’t pass up on the opportunity at today’s UFC 219 weigh in, to rock Khabib’s warrior hat.
And of course, it might be a little unfair, because Khabib did put Joe on the spot. However, Joe Rogan did not have to keep wearing the hat, which he did, and it was awesome.
Notably, Holly Holm stole the show in the final staredown of the evening. She got super intense with Cris Cyborg in their final square up before fight night. (Replay HERE)
Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib Nurmagomedov returns to action this weekend, in the UFC 219 co-main event against Edson Barboza, and Joe Rogan looks like he’s Team Khabib all the way.
The winner of the fight is expected to face off with interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson, if Conor McGregor remains absent from competition.
