Joe Rogan once named an NBA superstar who could've destroyed UFC fighters in MMA.
During a 2017 episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC color commentator spoke about what it would be like to see LeBron James compete in the UFC.
Interestingly, Rogan went on to praise the NBA superstar for his physical advantages and made a bold prediction by claiming that if James was fighting, he could destroy everyone. He said:
"I don’t give a f*** what kind of steroids you take, you are never going to look like that. Never. There are human beings who have just the most unfathomable physical advantages. LeBron James would have an unfathomable physical advantage over someone who would have an unfathomable physical advantage over you....A guy like that, if he was fighting, everybody would be f***ed!"

He added:
“And people go, ‘Well, you know what, man? Some things that make a great-looking basketball player wouldn't necessarily make you a great fighter. Listen to me. Save it. That guy's going to beat your f**king a**, he’s a winner. There’s certain level of winners that just, he can do whatever the f**k he wants."
