Speaking to guest Ali Siddiq on epside #1998 of JRE, the UFC commentator stated:
"Floyd is just piecing him up. Even at 46, he's the greatest of all-time and this kid is really an MMA fighter. He's a tough guy. He caught Floyd a couple of times with some little shots, but mostly he's just getting up. Boxed up by literally the greatest boxer of all-time, but he was holding on quite a bit and wouldn't let go and was trying to hold and clinch and hit which is something you can do in MMA so he's protecting himself from Floyd, but he's not letting go."
Rogan added:
"He's just getting frustrated. Floyd was just boxing him up, which is what he does. I don't know why he didn't listen and why he didn't let go. I don't know if they were talking s**t to each other. I don't know what was going on, but [referee] Kenny [Bayless] says that's it, that's a wrap and then everybody went crazy."

Joe Rogan labels Floyd Mayweather as the greatest boxer of all-time
Floyd Mayweather had a legendary career inside the boxing ring, retiring with an undefeated 50-0 record. Joe Rogan recently shared why he believes 'Money' is the greatest boxer of all-time. Speaking to guest Punkie Johnson on episode #1937 of JRE, the UFC commentator stated:
"That's why for my money Floyd Mayweather is the best ever, because he's the guy that got hit the least... He's exactly the right amount of aggressive to win... He stands right in front of your face and you still can't hit him. That's what a wizard he is."
