Joe Rogan named the one NBA star who would ‘f*** up’ UFC fighters if he decided to train in MMA – UFC News

According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, there is a potential superstar from another sport who could dominate inside the Octagon with the right training. Over the years, we have seen athletes from various backgrounds try their hand at MMA, with some achieving great success.

One notable crossover star was Brock Lesnar, who went from WWE to winning the UFC heavyweight title in 2009. Other examples include Greg Hardy and Matt Mitrione, both of whom transitioned from playing in the NFL to competing in the UFC.

Even former WWE champion CM Punk took a shot at MMA, although with mixed results. However, Joe Rogan believes that if NBA legend LeBron James decided to pursue a career in MMA, he would be unstoppable.

Rogan expressed his admiration for James’ physical attributes, stating that he would have a significant advantage over most fighters. He even went as far as to say that everyone else in the Octagon would be in trouble if James decided to make the switch.

Despite James’ success in basketball, Rogan is convinced that he could have excelled in the UFC as well. His winning mentality and physical prowess would make him a formidable opponent in the cage.

In conclusion, while some may doubt James’ ability to transition to MMA, Rogan firmly believes that his talent and drive would make him a force to be reckoned with in the Octagon.
