Joe Rogan comments ‘how weird’ live on air at UFC 313 after spotting detail that’s never been seen before – UFC News

During the thrilling UFC 313 event, Joe Rogan made an intriguing observation live on air that left fans buzzing. The event featured Alex Pereira relinquishing his UFC light-heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev in a hard-fought battle in Las Vegas. In the co-main event, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev engaged in a Fight of the Night showdown, reminiscent of their epic 2023 clash. However, just before their fight began, Gaethje raised eyebrows by donning MMA gloves without the usual UFC logo.

Amid the confusion, commentator Jon Anik shed light on the situation, explaining that the UFC logo had rubbed off Gaethje’s gloves during warm-ups. This unexpected turn of events left Rogan exclaiming, “How weird.”

Gaethje, who ultimately emerged victorious, shared in a post-match press conference that his gloves began peeling off backstage. Despite the mishap, he opted to stick with the broken-in gloves rather than switch to fresh ones. This decision proved beneficial as Gaethje secured a significant win over Fiziev, putting himself back in the conversation for a title shot.

The eventful UFC 313 saw unexpected twists and turns, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of fighters like Gaethje in the face of unforeseen challenges.
