Joe Rogan feels something fishy was going on with the fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury. Ngannou, who was the former UFC heavyweight champion, had decided to leave the promotion and switch to boxing. The UFC heavyweight went against the then-undefeated Tyson Fury in his debut match in October 2023. While most fans and experts ruled Ngannou out, ‘The Predator’ proved everybody wrong.
Ngannou went toe to toe with Fury for all the ten rounds. He even got Fury to the floor, much to the surprise of the audience. Unfortunately, in the end, the experience of Fury prevailed, earning him a 94-95, 96-93, 95-94 split decision victory. However, Joe Rogan seems to be a bit skeptical about the narrative. He has even hinted at a possible ‘fix’.
Joe Rogan gives Francis Ngannou the victory
Joe Rogan, in his recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, delved deeper into the Ngannou v Fury fight. Although Fury picked up a clean win, a majority of the masses believed otherwise. The UFC color commentator, too, is inclined towards Ngannou being the better fighter. He also opined that Ngannou perhaps needed a knockout to put an end to all suspicions.
But Rogan also thinks that the judging was a little dubious. The UFC color commentator stated, “I thought he won that fight… But, you know, they were setting up that [Oleksandr] Usyk fight. They were not gonna let — yeah, it just seemed like the fix was in a little bit.” If Rogan’s notions are true, these are some serious allegations.
