It’s been a short while since a UFC star appeared on an episode of The Joe Rogan Expertise podcast. The wait is over, due to a current go to from former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.
Topuria is likely one of the prime pound-for-pound fighters within the UFC proper now, sporting an ideal 16-0 file. He has spent the majority of his profession competing within the featherweight division. In early 2024, he captured the division’s title with a knockout of featherweight legend Alexander Volkanovski. Later within the yr, he defended the title with a knockout of one other legend in Max Holloway. He was the primary man to cease Holloway with strikes.
Topuria was on prime of the world after his wins over Volkanovski and Holloway. He then spun the world on axis by asserting his determination to vacate the belt and transfer completely as much as light-weight. That set the stage for Volkanovski to say the vacant title with a choice win over Diego Lopes at UFC 314 final weekend.
Topuria, although, has not but fought at light-weight. There’s been a lot dialogue about who he’ll struggle first within the division. Maybe we’ll get some solutions when he seems on the Joe Rogan Expertise podcast.
It’s not but clear when Topuria’s chat with Rogan will air, however the UFC fighter revealed an episode of the podcast is within the pipeline on Instagram.
“With the one and solely [Joe Rogan],” Topuria wrote within the caption for his submit.
It was solely three hours in the past that Rogan printed his final podcast episode, with visitor Wealthy Vos. Episodes often come out each few days, so we’ll in all probability be handled to the Topuria episode later this week or subsequent.
Each time the long-time UFC commentator interviews a fighter, tons of fascinating insights come to gentle. This episode will certainly be no exception. We could even be taught one thing about Topuria’s subsequent transfer.
