Joe Rogan reveals conversation with Marc Goddard about Alex Pereira’s ‘ungodly’ power after UFC 307 knockout

Joe Rogan provided some inside information about the absolute force behind Alex Pereira’s strikes following UFC 307.

Rogan, who called the action with Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier during Saturday’s event in Salt Lake City, revealed on the broadcast following Pereira’s fourth-round knockout of Khalil Rountree in the headliner that he spoke with referee Marc Goddard — the third man in the octagon with the two light heavyweight championship competitors — about the fight.

What Rogan heard he needed to share immediately.

“I was in the octagon after the fight and Marc Goddard came up to me and he said, ‘I’ve been doing this for 20 years,’” Rogan said. “And he goes, ‘The way he hits people, the sound is like nothing that I’ve ever heard before.’

“He said, ‘It’s ungodly.’ That’s what he kept saying. He says it’s ungodly.”

Pereira made a strong case for the 2024 Fighter of the Year with his third title defense of the year, and third sensational knockout. “Poatan” began the year with a brutal knockout of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 in April, and followed it up with a head kick finish of Jiri Prochazka in June at UFC 303.
