What does Joe Rogan have to say about Gordon Ryan?

Joe Rogan holds a significant admiration for Gordon Ryan. The well-known podcast presenter once analyzed how Ryan employs intimidation tactics to gain an upper hand against his rivals.

According to Rogan, it's as if Ryan "instills a sense of unease" in his opponents even before engaging with them.

In a discussion on episode #1872 of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast last year, the UFC commentator stated:

"They [Ryan's opponents] just realize he's that good, so they're scared. When I say scared, I don't mean terrified. What I mean is they feel the moment. Every one of those world-class fighters that goes up against another world-class fighter at that moment, when the match is about to start and everything is on the line, they have no idea who is gonna win. They all have a wild feeling of anticipation."

He added:

"But with Gordon, they have it worse because no one is beating him. He's just running through everybody. He's talking sh*t and he's a giant, good-looking guy who talks sh*t."
