Joe Rogan highlights concern over UFC star Tony Ferguson training with David Goggins and says ‘it’s interesting’
JOE ROGAN has raised doubts over Tony Ferguson linking up with David Goggins for his next fight.
Former Navy SEAL Goggins is renowned for his hellacious training regimes and he was enlisted to help UFC star Ferguson.
The lightweight veteran has been seen looking exhausted after sessions, even vomiting.
Ferguson’s next opponent, Paddy Pimblett, called the partnership “f****** stupid” as it relates to a fight camp.
And Rogan said on his podcast: “I’m very interested to see Tony after he’s been training with David Goggins.
“There’s a lot of, like, very mixed reviews about whether or not that would be a good thing or a bad thing for him. It’s interesting.
“I don’t know, because we’ve never seen anybody train with David before.
“You can say on one hand, clearly, when the two of them are training together, David is not struggling at all, and Tony is struggling.
““So there is definitely some ground to gain when it comes to endurance. Dave is not even f****** tired.
“They’re going side-by-side with each other, and he’s like, ‘Who’s gonna carry the boats?’

“He’s not even f****** tired, because he can go for days. He can just go for days. There’s without a doubt some benefit in that.”
Ferguson, 39, is on a six-fight losing streak heading into his UFC 296 fight with Pimblett, 28.
So he called on the services of Goggins, 48, to help desperately get his career back on track.
Rogan added: “They’re doing the workouts together, and David looks like he’s hanging out at f****** Planet Fitness trying to pick up a chick.
“Tony’s dying. But David said Tony was the first guy to get through hell week with him, which is incredible.”
