Joe Rogan remains one of the most popular personalities in the UFC, being a regular commentator and also the host of his very famous podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. Joe Rogan also recently dropped a huge Colby Covington firing bombshell.
Joe Rogan recently spoke to Andrew Huberman in episode #1683 of the Joe Rogan Experience, where he shared his thoughts regarding changing the UFC weigh-in system. He talked about Kamaru Usman’s insane change in weight weigh-ins and the actual fights.
Rogan stated that the UFC welterweight champion weighs nowhere near 170 pounds, which his the division’s limit, on days when he is not competing inside the Octagon for a fight.
“Take a guy like Kamaru Usman, he’s the UFC welterweight champion. He weighs in at 170; for about an hour, he’s 170. And then he gets up to around 200 pounds.
“You stand next to him and you go, ‘How is that guy 170?’ Well, he’s not. He’s 170 in the weigh-ins. And he’s not even the most egregious. There have been guys who cut way more weight than that. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe on fight days, he’s 190. But he’s a big guy. There’s no way he’s 170; he’s not even close to 170. And he’s the 170-pound champion.”
