UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has been involved in combat sports in some fashion for many decades now, which includes being a fan of professional boxing.
Paulie Malignaggi is a retired boxer who has been speaking out against UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor for a while now and Rogan would like the former boxer to just ?shut the f*ck up.?
?He should shut the f--k up because if he wanted to have a UFC fight he can go over there and get his brain kicked in,? said Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience. ?He?s out of his mind. Stop talking. You?re a boxer. You?re a very good boxer. Just shut your mouth. There?s literally a million people in the world that could grab you and strangle the life out of you and there?s not a god-damn thing you could do about it. Sorry dude. Don?t talk s--t. They will give you a wrestler and he will punch your f**king face into pulp and there?s not a god-damn thing you could do about it. Not a goddamn thing.?
The issues between Malignaggi and McGregor arose when McGregor?s camp released a photo of Malignaggi being dropped by McGregor during a sparring session.
Despite the UFC personalities issues with the retired boxer, there is one UFC fighter whom Rogan believes Malignaggi can defeat inside the Octagon.
?He?d probably f--k C.M. Punk up,? says Rogan.
While McGregor has crossed over from MMA to boxing, there is no word yet on or if Malignaggi would cross over into MMA.
