Joe Rogan Believes Kamaru Usman Deserves Next Title Shot

Age factor coupled with strong past impression makes Joe Rogan feel that Kamaru Usman should be the next UFC title challenger. Kamaru Usman was one of the most consistent and ferocious champions in the UFC welterweight division – it's an undeniable fact.

The UFC is contemplating whether Shavat Rakhmonov or Kamaru Usman should fight Belal Muhammad next. While the UFC is leaning more in favor of Shavkat to be next, the chances of deciding the next title challenger are high by squaring off Usman and Rakhmonov for a decider.

Joe Rogan on Kamaru Usman getting a title shot

Joe Rogan recently explained why he feels Kamaru Usman should get the next title shot opportunity.

"I think they give him Kamaru, that's the big money fight, it's the smart fight," Rogan said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. "They owe Kamaru for Kamaru taking Khamzat on 10 days' notice. Also, a three-rounder instead of a five-rounder when he won the third.

So, he's got the L, but maybe if he goes five rounds, maybe he doesn't get the L. It looked to me like he was coming on in the third. He had to figure him out, and also he had to trust his gas tank. The guy trained 10 days for one of the scariest * on Earth.

On Earth. I say you gotta give it to Kamaru, because I think Kamaru earned it from that alone. You don't have many more years of Kamaru now, he's like 37 now, I say give him another shot. Shavkat, every win he's a legend. Bigger and bigger legend. Give it to Kamaru.
