Joe Rogan has added the name of a 'overlooked' legend to the heavyweight goat debate.
The UFC commentator and popular podcaster recently called Fedor Emelianenko the best big man in the MMA history, despite the fact that he never fought in the UFC.
Cain Velasquez and Stipe Miocic are two other hunters who are usually presented as alternatives to the popular suggestion of Joe Rogan for heavyweight goat.

Joe Rogan took 'overlooking goat heavyweight'
Rogan looked at the map with Craig Jones, Brendan Schaub and Eddie Bravo for a podcast.
It was an event that was so bad that many fans left halfway through the main event between Leon Edwards and Sean Brady.
So usually Rogan's 'Fight Companion' crew spoke about everything and the other.
The subject of the 'most dangerous guards' in MMA came up, which led to former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum, who is an entry specialist who is thrown into the mix by Rogan.
“Fabricio is one,” he said before he started paying the Brazilian a huge compliment.
Rogan added: “Fabricio Werdum is over the head of goat heavyweight.”
Joe Rogan is worried about the UFC Heavyweight Division
A huge heavyweight unification collision between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is in the making.
UFC boss Dana White recently claimed that the fight is 'ready', but not done enough for an official announcement.
It is the largest matchup that can be made in 2025, but Rogan is worried about the heavyweight division, which he recently branded 'shallow'.
“There is one fight, then they have to sand,” Rogan said before he predicted the return of Francis Ngannou to the UFC.
He added: “You get Francis to come back with the Saudis.
“Come on. Come on, come on, come on”. The Saudis come with that big bag. “
