Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan shared his opinion on the recently announced bout between Hamzat Chimaev and the organization's former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker.

"Now we get to see Hamzat in a fight with a world renowned opponent. Chimaev vs. Whittaker in Saudi Arabia - it's going to be one hell of a wild one. Wild fight. This fight is a real test for Chimaev. A real test for Chimaev because Whittaker is a very tough opponent. Big, tough, former champion. He just beat Costa. He will have plenty of time to prepare. I like this fight," - stated Rogan.
