“Jake is very good. He hit Joshua with a heavy straight punch, but it had no effect. Joshua is gigantic. He’s so big, he’s much bigger. The punch he knocked Woodley out with, Joshua swallowed that punch because he’s gigantic. Jake is crazy too,” Rogan said on his podcast.

"The fact that he's willing to fight a former heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medalist, a gigantic guy, in peak form, with the physique of a Greek god, and who knocks people out with a single punch... Are you going to just stand there in front of this guy?" he concluded.
