Rogan was strugling to say anything about shamil. Dude doesn't know anything about newcomers to the UFC.

Hope Gaziev wins, don’t like heavyweight who go to decision like Buday.

Heavyweight aren’t really skilled, but they make it up for me that they’re usually end quick

Him and DC competes for self-owning when they present fighters. DC talking about "fight that I could find" as if he doesn't have the personal resources and the connections within the UFC to get tape of any fight there is tape on if he were to put in the effort.

I don't think Shamil does enough on top when he gets the takedowns and is unlikely to submit Buday. He will gas out R2 I feel

If Gaziev does not gas he punishes him with 1 ko loss.
