Joe Rogan went off on a tangent during one in every of the UFC 322 preliminary fights.
Baisangur Susurkaev vs Eric McConico got here to a short lived halt as a result of a low blow in round two.
As Khamzat Chimaev‘s 10-0 teammate tried to get better from the low blow, Joe Rogan wondered why more fighters don’t use steel cups.
The UFC commentator believes the accessory is so effective that it is largely ‘legal cheating’.

Joe Rogan highlights MMA ‘loophole’
Joe Rogan told MMA fighters to begin using the steel cup before the powers that be ban them.
“You recognize, there’s an enormous loophole within the MMA rules that I’m surprised more people don’t use. And that’s the steel Thai cup,” he said through the UFC 322 broadcast.
“I’ll say it immediately, I don’t think it needs to be legal, but it surely is.
“It provides leverage for armbars that’s brutal. Once you mount someone and get that steel cup within the chest, it’s terrible. And if you kick it, it breaks your foot. It protects your whole package significantly better than anything, and no person is using it.
“Kenny Florian was the last guy I knew to make use of it.”
Rogan’s co-commentator, Daniel Cormier, interjected: “You recognize who else used one?”
“The guy sitting to your right. I knew you may cheat with it.”
Rogan continued: “It’s legal cheating.
“It’s the most effective cup. Use it, kids, before they take it away, because they need to take it away.”
