Joe Rogan recently commended UFC lightweight Michael Chandler for his extraordinary cardio and unrelenting training schedule. Chandler has established himself as a major player in the UFC's 155-pound division thanks to his aggressive fighting style and exciting bouts.
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC commentator and guest comedian Brian Simpson heaped praise on 'Iron's' gas tank. Simpson claimed he was in awe of Chandler's back-to-back backflips in the final round of his five-round war with Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 last year, and Rogan then waxed lyrical about the former Bellator champion, saying:
"He's an animal. Well, he trains like nobody. I mean, his strength and conditioning routines, you can watch them online; they're f**king crazy. Cam Haynes went and trained with him once, said the guy's a maniac, but that's his weapon."
He added:
