UFC News – Joe Rogan discusses heavyweight title picture
UFC commentator Joe Rogan believes former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic deserves an immediate rematch with Daniel Cormier.
“He should [get a rematch]. People are thinking, the guy wins more UFC title defenses than anybody on the history of the sport and becomes the most accomplished heavyweight of all time,” Rogan said during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“Think about what he’s done. Think about the fact that he knocks out Fabricio Werdum to win the title, he knocks out Alistair Overeem to defend the title, he knocks out Junior dos Santos, beats Francis when everybody is terrified of Francis.
“He became the most accomplished heavyweight of all time. Then he gets knocked out by a crazy, perfect punch by Daniel Cormier in a perfect strategy.”
UFC News – Darren Till discusses weight cut ahead of Tyron Woodley fight
Darren Till has revealed he’ll start cutting weight for his welterweight title fight earlier than he did for his UFC Fight Night 130 bout with Stephen Thompson.
“Usually I always leave it until I have a big cut, because I know I can do the big cut,” Till told MMA NYTT’s Jim Edwards.
“But maybe because I’m growing and getting bigger and older, maybe it’s time to get the weight down early.
“I want to get the weight down early, so there’s no problems, and make weight healthy.”
