What was said

"If Connor gets tired, it could get rough. Look what he did to Aldo. Who the fuck ever done that to Aldo? That's the touch."

Joe Rogan and his guests analyzed Conor McGregor's upcoming return fight against Max Holloway after five years away from competition, including a devastating broken leg. They questioned whether McGregor can regain his elite form and endurance after years of partying and limited training. Rogan emphasized McGregor's knockout power remains dangerous but his cardio has always been suspect, while Holloway is known for exceptional fifth-round conditioning.
