Joe Rogan believes that one of the largest UFC stars was overlooked during the era of Conor McGregor.
The UFC commentator had a chair in the front row when 'Notorious' became the largest star in MMA history.
Conor McGregor eliminated Jose Aldo in 13 seconds to become the undisputed champion featherweight before he stopped the lightweight title holder Eddie Alvarez within two rounds.
After he became the first champion with double weight in the history of UFC, the Irishman crossed to boxing and earned $ 100 million to face Floyd Mayweather in a fight that negatively influenced his performance in the UFC Octagon.

Joe Rogan calls Nate Diaz 'most undervalued superstar'
At the height of his powers, Conor McGregor only lost to one man in the UFC, Nate Diaz.
The fan favorite provisional in the short term came in the short term and choked 'Mystic Mac' on UFC 196 in March 2016.
McGregor received his revenge by majority decision when they braked UFC 202 later that year.
Yet Joe Rogan believes that Diaz has done more than enough to settle as a UFC -Superster.
The 57-year-old insists that he was overlooked as the powers that focus on pushing McGregor.
“That guy is a superstar,” said Rogan about Diaz on his podcast.
“I always said that he was the most undervalued superstar during the Conor McGregor Times.
I had something like that: 'You miss it. You have Conor McGregor, but Nate Diaz just hit him and said, “I am not surprised, Motherf – -!”
Nate Diaz Eyes UFC Return
Joe Rogan will be enthusiastic about Nate Diaz who teases a return to the UFC in recent weeks.
The 40-year-old ties with MMA's most important promotion after stitching Tony Ferguson on UFC 279 in September 2022.
Since then he has gone 1-1 in boxing courses against Jake Paul and his old BMF rival, Jorge Masvidal.
Now he has called a three-man Hitlist from hunters who can convince him to make a UFC comeback.
“I intend to go back to the UFC,” Diaz said at the HJR -Podcast.
“If they have me, I would like to go back and f – who is someone there.
“I don't fight there because there is no one to really fight. It is quite slowly rolling.
“Temporary [McGregor] is back. Me and he certainly got unfinished things. Must happen. “
“It is the most entertaining S – there is,” Diaz added about the BMF title. 'I hope you know you are wearing my belt.
“Those are the guys there I want to fight like Max Holloway. But I would also like to fight other boys, also very well …
'[Ilia] Topuria, he's really good. But he is smaller than me. “
