Joe Rogan thinks Eddie Hearn entering the MMA space is a good thing.<\/p>\n

With tensions high between UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall<\/a> and White, Matchroom Boxing’s Hearn recently signed Aspinall\u00a0for representation. White’s feud with Hearn has intensified as the UFC CEO continues to grow Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n

“Well, the beef between those two, I don’t know the root of it,” Rogan said in a recent episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience.”<\/a> “I think it’s essentially that it’s competition, like Dana now is entering into the boxing space and Eddie Hearn is entering into the MMA space because now he’s a manager of Tom Aspinall, which is very interesting.<\/p>\n

“Anything that gets fighters more money, I’m for, and if more attention, more money, more different promoters, more people competing to give people higher purses. The real problem is, with MMA there’s nothing. There is essentially the UFC and everything else is a distant second. It’s a distant second in terms of attention.”<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old White said\u00a0he’d be willing to box Hearn<\/a>, who is 46. UFC commentator Rogan warns Hearn that White has legit boxing roots.<\/p>\n

“Dana can box \u2013 he can really box,” Rogan said. “I’ve seen Dana hit mits before. I’ve seen Dana spar. Dana can actually box. There was a time where Dana was supposed to have a boxing match with Tito Ortiz, and even Tito acknowledged \u2013 because Dana was his manager \u2013 even Tito acknowledged that Dana is a really good boxer.<\/p>\n

“He can box. He spent a lot of his time boxing when he was young. I don’t know how much of it he’s doing these days, he’s so f*cking busy. He’s so involved in Zuffa Boxing now, and he’s involved in some of these Riyadh Season events. I think it’s probably just talk. Eddie Hearn is a very tall guy, though \u2013 he’s a big dude. I don’t want to see it, but I’ll watch, though.”<\/p>\n
