Joe Rogan for a fight between all Kamaru Usman vs. Canelo Alvarez. While many would argue that the boxing match could upset the middleweight champion’s stock, UFC commentators think otherwise.
UFC commentator, podcast tycoon, and comedian Joe Rogan made his television debut. Hotboxin with Mike Tyson digital audio file. In the special show, both fighting icons talked about a few potential fights coming up. One of the things that brightened Joe’s eyes was a possible showdown between the UFC weight champion and the weight boxing champion.
Despite Kamaru not being known for his kick, Nigerian Nightmare is currently pushing for a boxing match against arguably the greatest striker in the martial arts world. UFC boss Dana White has closed the possibilities for such a fight, but Joe believes the fight could be a huge success for Usman.
“I’d like to see you fight Canelo” said Joe, speaking to Mike Tyson on the Hotboxin podcast. “I really would. I want to see him get a big payday, not because I think he’s a favorite in a boxing match against one of the greatest boxers of all time.”

While Usman may emerge as a major underdog in the fight, Joe believes the middleweight champion can make a lot of money and a defeat against Alvarez won’t affect his potential as a UFC fighter. “It’s a way of making a lot of money and I don’t think it hurts his potential as a UFC fighter. I think it will be an invaluable experience for him as a champion.” said Rogan, speaking to Tyson on the podcast.
Kamaru currently sweeps the entire middleweight division. Now in the beltline, he’s managed to beat some of the top contenders twice. Usman has the longest active winning streak in the middleweight division with 15 fights. Usman has never been beaten in the octagon and already makes a big case for UFC fighters to be on Mount Rushmore.
