Joe Rogan has issued a stark warning to Jake Paul in the aftermath of his defeat to Anthony Joshua at Miami’s Kaseya Center last weekend.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old American, who has transitioned from YouTube stardom to professional boxing, was outclassed throughout the contest before being dropped by a devastating right hand in round six.<\/p>\n

Officials immediately halted proceedings, awarding Joshua victory by technical knockout.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, Paul remained defiant about his boxing future.<\/p>\n

“I think my jaw is broken. But that was good, I’ll come back and get a world championship belt at some point,” he declared following the bout.<\/p>\n

The UFC commentator, however, offered sobering advice on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience, he urged Paul to reconsider a prolonged career in the ring.<\/p>\n

“Don’t do this very long because there’s a price that you pay that is not worth it,” Rogan stated.<\/p>\n

He outlined the severe neurological consequences that fighters often face after sustained punishment.<\/p>\n

“That price is depression, deep depression. A severe brain imbalance that is going to lead you to addiction. It leads so many people to impulsive behaviour,” he explained.<\/p>\n

The podcaster elaborated on what he described as a finite capacity for absorbing blows.<\/p>\n

“So many people become gambling addicts, drug addicts, alcoholics after their fighting career. Say if you have a punch card, you have so many punches you can get in your life, which I believe you do. I believe there’s a certain number.”<\/p>\n

Rogan assessed the knockout blow as particularly damaging, suggesting it carried the force of multiple impacts.<\/p>\n

“That [knockdown] was like ten punches. There were a lot of concussions in that one punch. That was real damage,” he said.<\/p>\n

The commentator then drew a direct connection between external injuries and internal trauma.<\/p>\n

“If someone’s breaking your jaw in two places, the inside of your head, there’s a lot of damage going on in there too,” Rogan added.<\/p>\n

His comments came after Paul himself acknowledged a broken jaw following the contest against the former world champion, highlighting the brutal nature of the punishment he absorbed during the six-round encounter.<\/p>\n

Rogan also offered a tactical assessment of Paul’s abilities, identifying stamina as his primary weakness.<\/p>\n

“[Paul] gets tired in a lot of his fights in the later rounds, he should really sort that out,” he observed.<\/p>\n

“If he had a much bigger gas tank, if he was training with some of these elite world class strength and conditioning coaches, he would be beating a lot more guys.”<\/p>\n

Yet he acknowledged Paul’s genuine threat over shorter distances.<\/p>\n

“If that guy is only fighting three rounds, he is a [expletive] handful. He’s really good. He clocked [Joshua],” Rogan concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Rogan has issued a stark warning to Jake Paul in the aftermath of his defeat to Anthony…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2560,6491,96,50,2331,217,56,54,55,741,1384],"class_list":{"0":"post-333352","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-sgg","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
