It’s a good factor Joe Rogan was round to stop the worst from taking place when one heckler determined to be a ’s—thead’ to Leon Edwards.
On a latest episode of The Joe Rogan Expertise, Rogan and visitor Tom Segura recounted the time somebody was being disrespectful to the newly topped UFC welterweight champion.
“Someone was mouthy to any person you have been with, who’s a fighter,” stated Segura. “Someone’s speaking s—t to a UFC fighter that Joe’s with and Joe’s like, ‘Look, man. I do know you’ve made plenty of errors in your life, however you’re about to make a important one. I imply, when you discuss s—t to any person like that who will get upset, that’s the worst [thing].
“Let me simply inform you who it’s,” responded Rogan. “It was Leon Edwards. Some man was speaking s—t to Leon Edwards and I stated, ‘You make a important mistake.’ And I’m going, ‘Let me simply step in proper right here. Initially, you’re out of line.’ You’re being a s—thead to him for no f—king cause and also you’re choosing the improper dude. I’m like, ‘That is likely one of the finest fighters on planet Earth.’”
Disaster averted!
Following a ten-fight win streak, Edwards was awarded his first UFC championship alternative in opposition to Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 this previous August. The ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ was 1-0 in opposition to ‘Rocky,’ having handed him a unanimous determination loss at UFC on FOX 17 almost seven years in the past. This time, Edwards bought his revenge and surprised the world with a ‘Comeback of the Year’ KO of Usman within the remaining minute of their much-anticipated rematch.
Now 1-1, Edwards and Usman are anticipated to finish their trilogy when the UFC returns to London with a ‘badass’ card next year.
