With Joe Rogan providing the colour commentary and octagon interviews for UFC 205, we were denied the 'Fight Companion' that allows us to see his live reaction to fights when he isn't working, but there was no way in Hell that he was missing UFC 205.
That's why we were looking forward to the first episode of the Joe Rogan Experience after the event, which was uploaded yesterday with former UFC fighter and co-host of 'The Fighter And The Kid' podcast Brendan Schaub.
After briefly discussing how ridiculously people are reacting to Donald Trump winning the US election, they dived straight into UFC 205 and where else could they start but the main event?
Both men were left flabbergasted by McGregor's performance, with Joe Rogan going as far to describe it as 'almost magical'.
The main event was almost bizarre, almost bizarre how good Conor is. Almost bizarre the way he picked apart Eddie Alvarez.
Like magical, that's the word I want to use. He touches motherfuckers with that left hand...
Brendan Schaub too was left in awe by the main event, and what is truly remarkable in the aftermath is that there is just nothing in the slighest way negative to say about McGregor's performance, it was close to perfection.
John Kavanagh admitted on The MMA Hour yesterday that after watching the fight back, Conor himself was finding little issues he wasn't happy with here and there, but for Rogan, Schaub, and the rest of us, all there is to do marvel at the ease of which he defeated a UFC champion in Eddie Alavarez.
