Fans on social media couldn't help but notice the uncanny resemblance between Joe Rogan and a Russian fighter competing in a weird new combat sport.

A video of the fight taking place under "arm boxing" rules recently made the rounds on social media. It shows two combatants strapped by their waists to a table as they exchange punches.

As bizarre as the sport was, fans on Twitter were more fixated on the fact that one of the fighters resembled the veteran UFC color commentator. One commenter asked, "Is that Joe Rogan on the right?" That prompted some hilarious replies.

Meanwhile, another segment of Twitter users pointed out how weird it was for the fighters to scrap under such a set of rules. Some pointed out that it was ridiculous, while others appeared to be entertained by the sheer violence of it all.

Russia has produced its fair share of weird combat sports experiments, with the promotion 'Epic Fighting Championship' leading the charge. However, it appears that things are just getting weirder and weirder in the world of combat sports as the days go by.

UFC judge claps back at Joe Rogan

Seth Fuller has responded to Joe Rogan after the color commentator criticized his scorecard at UFC 277.

Fuller judged the heavyweight bout between Hamdy Abdelwahab and Don’Tale Mayes during the PPV event and scored the fight in favor of Mayes. Rogan disagreed and was highly critical of the judge during the broadcast.

Two weeks later, Fuller responded to Rogan on his personal YouTube channel:

"Joe Rogan you’re still my hero... But I have to face that, and everybody I know has to face that, and this is the important part, the commission has to hear that. Now the commission goes, 'Hey, this is why we shouldn’t have put this guy on the main UFC...' And that's to me, a bunch of BS, because if I’m doing it wrong, then cite me for doing it wrong. But if you’re pretending that I’m not experienced, or I was careless, or I didn’t think, and do my absolute best, and I don’t care about these fighters and care that the result is the correct result according to the rules that they agreed to, you’re just plain wrong."
