Joe Rogan dives deep into rumored homosexual boxer killing opponent in the ring

Joe Rogan is involved with the world of combat sports for a long time now and it is quite evident from his knowledge of boxing. In a recent episode of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience,’ the UFC color commentator spoke about some extreme fights that led to severe consequences.

Joe mentioned the infamous death of Benny Perrette during his fight with Emile Griffith. In that fight, the referee didn’t stop Griffith when Perrette was pinned in the corner defenseless. 

“Benny Perrette was killed by Emile Griffith. He beat him to death. After Benny Perrette teased him for being gay, talking shit about for being gay…he wasn’t trying to, he was trying to knock him out,” said Rogan. 

After that Rogan went on to talk about another boxing match that took place between Gerald McClellan and Nigel Benn. In that fight, Benn punished McClellan so badly that the fighter went into a coma for 2 weeks. McClellan never recovered from it and became blind with a hearing disability.

Joe Rogan talks about the importance of having a well built referee to stop fighters from getting hurt

Joe Rogan has been commentating in the UFC for over 20 years and knows the seriousness of the fight game. Especially with boxing, where the fighters hit their opponents with brutal power. 

“That’s the risk that these guys have taken man. I mean that’s a crazy sport. You’re throwing haymakers at each other with thick padding over the top of it,” said Rogan.  In most of those fights that Rogan mentioned, one thing was common that the referees didn’t do their job perfectly. According to the UFC color commentator, it is wiser to have big men as a referees who can stop the fighters in time.
