Joe Rogan Eager for Chimaev’s Title Shot After Dominant Win

Khamzat Chimaev, the undefeated UFC star, continues to shock the world with his rapid ascension. At UFC 308, Chimaev faced former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and claimed victory in the first round via submission, extending his perfect record to 8-0 in the organization. His swift and commanding win over such a highly regarded opponent has stirred discussions about his place in the middleweight title picture, and fans aren’t alone in wanting to see him fight for the belt. UFC commentator Joe Rogan has also expressed his excitement, calling Chimaev “a scary ass motherf*****” and highlighting his unparalleled grappling prowess.

A Performance to Remember

Chimaev’s victory over Whittaker wasn’t just another win; it was a statement. Many MMA analysts saw this fight as a crucial test for Chimaev, as Whittaker is known for his durability and experience. But Chimaev didn’t just defeat him—he finished Whittaker quickly and decisively, showing how dangerous he is once he takes control.

Joe Rogan, a keen observer of fighters’ styles, was quick to share his awe, stating, “Once he gets a hold of you, it’s so dangerous.” He went on to describe Chimaev’s fighting style as “next level,” saying that he “ran through [Whittaker]” without even getting touched.

Joe Rogan’s Hopes for a Title Fight

Rogan is not shy about his desire to see Chimaev get a shot at the title. He believes that Chimaev’s skills at middleweight are a perfect fit and feels he could be the division’s top contender. With Rogan’s praise echoing through the MMA community, there is growing anticipation that UFC might soon book a fight between Chimaev and middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis. However, du Plessis has hinted at a possible rematch with Sean Strickland, leaving the title picture unclear. Rogan, though, remains hopeful that Chimaev’s dominant performance will earn him the next title shot.

Middleweight Division’s Potential Shake-Up

The future of the middleweight division looks exciting with names like Chimaev, du Plessis, and Strickland in contention. Chimaev’s dominant grappling and relentless pressure make him a unique challenge for any champion, and Rogan’s endorsement only adds to the fan momentum behind him. It will be interesting to see how the UFC matchmakers decide to navigate these possibilities, especially with Rogan and other commentators pushing for Chimaev’s chance to fight for the title.
