AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan recently opened up about his views on WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and said that "The Beast Incarnate" deserves more credit for what he has achieved in his career.
Since making his professional wrestling debut in 2002, Lesnar has established himself as one of the most cherished members of the wrestling organization. Throughout his ten-year career, he continued to rule with the same charisma in the ring, making him a favorite of many, and Rogan seems to be one of them.
Joe Rogan praises Brock Lesnar on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast
During his conversation with WWE veteran Hulk Hogan on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, Joe Rogan brought up Brock Lesnar's accomplishments, praising his quick transition from the WWE to MMA, and called it an outstanding achievement.
"What’s incredible with Brock is that Brock went from pro wrestling to being the UFC heavyweight champion," said Rogan, adding, "I mean and did so with such a short amount of time of training in MMA."
Rogan further stated, "Obviously he had a spectacular amateur wrestling career he was a legit top-flight amateur wrestler and a f**king genetic freak. All those things, but to be able to make that transition to winning the f**king world title against a guy like Randy Couture?"
"I don’t think he gets enough credit for what I think a lot of people say, ‘Oh he was so big and he was this and that and he did steroids’ and there’s all these excuses like you don’t understand what that guy did like what that guy did is nothing short of insanity like no one’s ever done that before," continued the UFC commentator.
Brock Lesnar’s prestigious career as a fighter
Brock Lesnar had a fantastic and well-known experience in the WWE, but for some reason, people didn't seem to appreciate his time in the UFC as much.
Rogan claimed that after defeating Frank Mir in the rematch, Lesnar immediately rose to the top of the food chain. "The Beast Incarnate" is particularly known for moving quickly despite having a massive physique.
"He had like legit top-flight combine numbers like ridiculous numbers. Just a f**king freak man, yeah, like a real rare one. Very fast too, like his run was fast," expressed Rogan.
The podcaster added that Lesnar's height of 6 ft 3 in (190 cm) and weight of 283 pounds (128 kg) makes him performing the 40-yard dash of four-seven an impressive feat.
"35 inches vertically and 10 feet from the standing long jump, 10 feet he’s hurling 10th, he’s hurling almost 300 pounds 10 feet. He can bend 225 pounds for 30 reps, 225 for 30 f**king reps," exclaimed Rogan with admiration.
