Joe Rogan, a veteran UFC commentator and analyst, expresses skepticism about a potential matchup between lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight titleholder Ilia Topuria. Rogan suggests that UFC management might be hesitant to book this fight due to the perceived size disparity between the fighters.
In a recent discussion on his YouTube channel, Rogan stated, “I don`t think the Makhachev and Topuria fight is going to happen. I`m curious to see who they will match Topuria against next. A fight between Topuria and Oliveira would be very interesting. Oliveira is a large lightweight, dangerous in all areas, with a significant reach advantage. These lightweights are substantial, and Topuria, while skilled, is noticeably smaller.”
