Mike Tyson asked Joe Rogan to name his UFC GOAT and he gave a swift response.
in 2022, the former world heavyweight champion asked for Rogan's opinion on the greatest fighter in UFC history to which he replied: "It’s hard to say, but it might have been Mighty Mouse.
"When Mighty Mouse was in his prime, he was so magnificent, he was so fast, and he was doing things that you couldn’t believe how he could do .” Rogan argued his case by referencing Johnson's spectacular victory over Ray Borg, adding: "He hit a dude with a suplex and caught him with an armbar on the way down
"And I’m not exaggerating this. He body dumped this guy, and in the process of taking him to the ground, got him in an armbar."'Mighty Mouse' beat the likes of Ian McCall, Joseph Benavidez, Henry Cejudo as he made an incredible 11 title defences during his reign as 125lbs champion - only Jon Jones has managed the same achievement.He was a special talent who completely neutralised his opponents, with Rogan hailing the fighter's dominance at his peak.
"When he was in his prime, he was fighting world-caliber competition, and they weren’t even hitting him," he added."He was moving on angles that they didn’t expect, he was feinting them and shooting for takedowns, he was kicking them in the head when they thought he was going to throw a takedown.
