Joe Rogan says Chael Sonnen was the best UFC fighter to interview
Joe Rogan has spoken to some of the greatest trash-talkers of all time and watched them produce epic promos in their post-fight interviews.
Over the years, the likes of Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal have set the world on fire, giving Rogan their immediate response to winning huge matches in the octagon.
However, in the beloved commentator's mind, no one compares to Chael Sonnen.
When it comes to charisma, the UFC enthusiast ranks 'The American Gangster' above all others.

On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the analyst said: “It used to be that the best guy to interview was Chael Sonnen. He put on a show. He was the first man to really come up with pro wrestling style promotion with legitimate fighting skills.
“He almost beat Anderson Silva. He almost won that fight. If he hadn't gotten into that triangle in the last round, he would have won that fight.”
