Back in December, Rogan declared:
"Listen to what I'm saying to you right now. The UFC is about to go to Russia. They're going to do it. UFC in Russia: Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov. That's what I think is coming. GIANT! GIANT!"UFC president Dana White and chief executive Ari Emanuel did indeed travel to Russia late last year and spoke with officials about all the necessary junctures they would need to navigate to put on a massive pay-per-view event. In the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the host returned to the prospect of McGregor fighting in Russia. He said:
"McGregor versus Jose Aldo is obviously not as big a fight as if he were to fight Nurmagomedov in Russia and it was for the 155 pound title. "If Nurmagomedov fights in Russia, they may have to build a new soccer stadium in Russia. I don't think people understand [his popularity]."Rogan does believe McGregor has one massive weapon in his arsenal to threaten the undefeated Dagestani. "If Conor catches you like that, you might be fucking Donesville," he declared. "He might drop some hammers on you and that'll be the end of you." https://youtu.be/cuzAII2c7Eg Rogan is a man in the know and has predicted some of the biggest fights in recent years, such as McGregor's lightweight title fight against Eddie Alvarez. He may be putting 2 + 2 together here but a Nurmagomedov win at UFC 209 will put him directly in McGregor's path. Joe knows. He even predicted the rise of Donald Trump... https://youtu.be/9EOgDzvLJzg
