Joe Rogan recently added to the aura surrounding Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev’s wrestling is arguably among the best in the history of MMA. Rogan recently recalled Brendan Schaub being awed by Chimaev’s wrestling. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight visited Chimaev’s training camp, from where he called Rogan urgently to discuss “Borz’s” wrestling. Schaub told Rogan that Chimaev was mauling All-American Division I wrestlers and elite jiu-jitsu black belts. When offered to spar with Chimaev, Schaub didn’t hesitate in declining.
"Brendan Schaub had been to his training camp, and he called up and said, ‘Bro, we gotta talk,’” Rogan told Michael Page during an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.
