Conor McGregor Once Ignored Joe Rogan’s ‘Terrible’ Warning & Paid the Price With His Blood

Joe Rogan once made a prediction about a Conor McGregor fight, and it turned out to be true. Unfortunately, it was not in McGregor’s favor.

His rival, Nate Diaz, is preparing for his last UFC bout. At UFC 279, the fighter will face Khamzat Chimaev, who has managed to remain undefeated. Hence, fans are excited to witness the outcome. Similarly, Joe Rogan discussed Diaz and McGregor in the JRE episode #1866.

Both of Diaz’s bouts with Conor McGregor have been of prime importance in UFC’s history. They first clashed in 2016 and the Stockton fighter won through a submission.

They clashed again months later. However, ‘The Notorious‘ won the fight via a majority decision. But as revealed by Rogan, people underestimated Diaz during the first fight.

He said, “Dude, I was the first person to sound the alarm for everybody at the UFC. I was like ‘hey hey hey’, before this even got, I go ‘that guy can win’. This is not a layup. I go ‘Nate Diaz is a terrible match-up. He’s a big guy for 155.”

“He’s f**king big. … got a sh**load of experience.”

Rogan further discussed how difficult it was to put away the veteran during a fight. After all, most of his losses have been via a decision. The Jorge Masvidal, Josh Thomson, and Hermes Franca fight before he joined the UFC are the only exceptions.

Thus, the Chimaev fight will be interesting for fans. He has been dominant in his fights. However, the ‘Stockton Slugger’ can go round after round without gassing out.

Will Joe Rogan commentate for Nate Diaz?

With the upcoming fight, Diaz will complete his contract. There are chances he might venture into professional boxing.

For UFC 279, the trio, Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier, will get back to commentator duties. Thus, fans will get one more chance to see the famous color commentator speak to the veteran fighter.

In addition to Chimaev versus Diaz, there are other interesting fights on the card. One such bout is Tony Ferguson versus Li Jingliang for a welterweight bout. Ferguson was seen facing Michael Chandler in the Octagon earlier this year.

Unfortunately, he lost the bout through a vicious front-kick knockout. So watching him fight yet again will be huge for his fans.

What are your predictions for Chimaev versus Diaz and Jingliang versus Ferguson? Let us know in the comments.
