Joe Rogan might have been absent from UFC 271, but that didn’t stop the renowned podcast host and long-time color commentator from texting Jon Anik that Israel Adesanya might have broken his hand against Robert Whittaker at some point during the fight.
Adesanya did seem hesitant to fire his right hand from rounds 2 to 4 but, according to City Kickboxing head coach Eugene Bareman, the reason was mental, not physical.
Bareman shot down Rogan’s broken hand theory during a recent interview on The MMA Hour where he confirmed ‘The Last Stylebender’ suffered no injuries at UFC 271 and left the Octagon scot-free.
