When Joe Rogan was left shocked by Yoel Romero’s physique

UFC commentator and popular podcaster Joe Rogan also commented on Yoel Romero’s physique a while back.

Romero still looks in great shape and continues to perform in several top promotions. Rogan was speaking on episode #2239 of his show and commented on one of Romero’s videos which went viral.

Rogan couldn’t believe what he was seeing and labeled Romero a “freak.”

"See if you could find the video of Yoel Romero sprinting, it's nuts. Like, look at him run. So, his neck doesn't move. His entire neck is completely fused and he has this giant scar on the back of his neck. He is a freak though, dude."
