‘He Shouldn’t Be Eating F**king Plants’: Joe Rogan Puts Canelo Alvarez On Blast Over Vegan Diet

The epic battle between Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol had taken the world by storm. The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas witnessed one of the biggest upsets of the year. Fans expected The Mexican King to display his trademark strong punches and win the bout. But, the Russian storm came along and destroyed Alvarez’s ten-year unbeaten streak. Popular podcast host, Joe Rogan put forth his views on why Alvarez lost the fight.

In a recent episode of the podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan mentioned, “You need to be doing a sauna every day, ice baths. You need to be eating all the right food, drinking all the right water. They should hydration test you everyday. You got hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, that’s Canelo Alvarez. He shouldn’t be eating fu**ing plants. Fu** you doing bro? You’re eating celery. We got to get a steak in you.”

Over the years, Joe Rogan has engaged in Taekwondo and kickboxing. He also enjoys boxing and has had notable personalities in the sport, including Mike Tyson, on his podcast. As a result of his experience, Rogan shared his thoughts on Alvarez vs Bivol fight, and what led to the Mexican’s defeat.

The electrifying battle between Alvarez and Bivol 

Bivol, a 31-year-old Russian underdog, was never expected by fans to dethrone the Mexican king. But perhaps the world wasn’t ready for what Bivol had in store for them inside the ring. The boxer took use of his height and kept a range to unleash powerful jabs on Alvarez.

Since the opening of the fight, Bivol was confident and in command. The bout lasted twelve rounds. The final two rounds were the most incredible. Bivol began throwing heavy jabs at Alvarez in the 11th round, denying him the opportunity to counterattack. Finally, Dmitry Bivol was declared the winner via decision.
