Joe Rogan on MMA striking vs Boxing: "Your s--- won't work in the cage"

All the boxer needs is good take defense and watch out for the kicks and they'll do fine, might dominate too.

Guy with podcast says something to rustle peoples’ jimmies. Shocking.

Rogan is an idiot. But it's true, pure boxing will not work in MMA. But the adjustments needed(and they are crucial) to make it work extremely well in MMA are not that major. More important is to understand kickboxing defense and takedown defense.

joe rogan should worry about the UFC paying their fighters peanuts compared to boxers. Dana White is Don King X1000. the ultimate crook. as far as comparing the two sports this is a dumb debate. Two different sports. Jon Jones destroys any boxer in a cage. but Jon Jones gets his eyebrows knocked off by a mediocre boxer in the ring. Who cares.

I always chuckle when an mma fighter has his opponent on the floor and punching at him like a fkin girl. I dont mind the strikers in UFC but that wrestling sht gotta go. Fuk jiu jitsu it’s a cowards way of fighting. What's cowardly about Jiu Jitsu? It's one of the few fighting styles where you can incapacitate your opponent without necessarily leaving any lasting damage to them. It's taught quite a bit now by the Military as well.

that was the end, watch the first round. I have many times. You're talking about the round where Holm landed other classic boxing techniques like elbows, kicks, knees and a body lock takedown. If you want to hold on to the argument that she's fundementally a boxer it could also be said it didn't work for her vs Nunes.

Yes, the head kick she landed to end the fight showed perfect boxing skill. that was the end, watch the first round.

Sure, whatever. It goes both ways though, McGregor was considered some kind of striking hotshot in UFC but he showed that he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag with 10 oz gloves on. I'm not sure why anyone really cares what Joe Rogan has to say anyway, every time I see or hear some clip from him it sounds like he's stoned.

Why UFC guys so obsessed with boxing? ****s weird

This topic has been beaten to death for so long.

Well UFC **** don't work in the boxing ring. UFC guys also cannot generate power to hurt with bigger, padded gloves like boxing guys.

well no **** Joe. did you see McGregor's weak ass punches against Mayweather? its a different sport. Right. Kicking and grappling will get u DQ’d in boxing Joe. I don’t even know if u could get away with the spandex shorts. Certainly nobody is going to make u wear Reebok.

Rogan is suspect. Half of the video is him talking about how beautiful some Japanese fighter is lol That girl is pretty cute

Yeah but Holm softened Rousey up with hand strikes primarily. Rousey was already battered before the head kick.

it worked for holm when she beat the crap out of rousey Yes, the head kick she landed to end the fight showed perfect boxing skill.

well no **** Joe. did you see McGregor's weak ass punches against Mayweather? its a different sport.

Well MMA guys Strike for the Kill, not for Proper Form Boxers might be too Technical when you try to match them in a Pure Striking Exhibition with a MMA Guy who is going to go for it and not worry about "The Perfect Boxing Form"

Ignorance at its finest.... mma has been around in one form or another for thousands of years.... What the **** is a strike? And how come you don't call kicks and elbows strikes Sounds stupid as **** to me tbh

Judo guys need their opponent to wear a gi, they look dazed and con fused if you got topless. You’ll be called a cheater for not giving them something they can hold onto. Striking is uncool in judo. It’s seen as dirty fighting. The same as not announcing yourself before you fight. Another moronic statement, we have 3 major schools in Judo. Throwing (Nage-waza) Grappling (Katame-waza) STRIKING (Atemi-waza) Don't speak about things you have no clue about.
