Joe Rogan once compared a baby bear wrestling a dog to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Karo Parisyan.
In December 2016, Rogan released episode #889 of the 'Joe Rogan Experience,' which featured comedian Brian Redban. At the time, a video of a baby bear playfully wrestling a dog had gone viral, with the former dominating the altercation.
Rogan played the footage for Brian Redban and had this to say about being impressed by the baby bear's wrestling skills:
"Have you ever seen like a baby bear wrestle a dog? It's f*cking hilarious. It's like Khabib Nurmagomedov wrestling your grandmother. This bear just throws this f*cking dog around like it ain't sh*t. It's a little cub, it's a little baby bear."

The UFC commentator followed up by saying:
"The bear can do sh*t that the dog can't do. The dog can only bite but that bear has ridiculous power in those arms. He throws him. He uses his hips. This bear is like a f*cking Judo champ. This is like some Karo Parisyan sh*t. "

Joe Rogan explains why Khabib Nurmagomedov is the MMA GOAT over Jon Jones
Similar to most sports, there's a never-ending conversation about who's the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones are typically the most acknowledged candidates, while Khabib Nurmagomedov, Anderson Silva, and Demetrious Johnson have earned a spot in the conversation.
Earlier this year, Joe Rogan compared Nurmagomedov and Jones as GOAT candidates during episode #1889 of his podcast. The longtime UFC commenter had this to say to comedian Yannis Pappas:
"Khabib is undefeated, he retired at 29-0, dominated everybody, no one was even close. Jon Jones has had split-decisions. The Reyes fight was f***ing close. So was the Thiago Santos fight. Close fights. There's no close fights in Khabib's history. There's no close fights. Everybody gets f***ing mauled."
The primary difference between Jones and Nurmagomedov is that the latter has retired from mixed martial arts. Meanwhile, 'Bones' is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, and scripted his first title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309.
