Joe Rogan believes full-camp Usman could seriously trouble Chimaev in five rounds

Joe Rogan stated that Kamaru Usman with a full training camp and in a five-round fight could pose serious problems for Khamzat Chimaev. Usman accepted the fight on short notice at middleweight and was winning the third round before losing. Rogan emphasized that a properly prepared Usman in a five-round format would make for a very interesting contest. The original bout saw Usman step in without a full camp and compete outside his natural weight class.
