Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, and Joe Rogan engaged in a heated argument about Tommy Fury's boxing ability on The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast.

Rogan believed Fury was a legitimate boxer, while Portnoy continued to dismiss the Brit's talent.

Portnoy claimed that Jake Paul could "kill" Tommy Fury, which angered Rogan.

Rogan showed boxing footage of Fury to prove his point, but Portnoy continued to ramble on without watching it, prompting Rogan to repeatedly urge him to "shut the f**k up" and watch the video.

Joe Rogan also recently criticized the judges in Paddy Pimblett's UFC 282 win, which was underwhelming due to neither fighter claiming the then-vacant light heavyweight title in a draw.

Pimblett won the co-main event with a contentious unanimous decision over Jared Gordon, despite being knocked down and twice struck by Gordon's left hooks in the first round.

Rogan referred to bad judging on episode #134 of the JRE MMA Show with Belal Muhammad, citing Pimblett's most recent battle as an example.

During the Tommy Fury debate, Rogan showed footage of Fury fighting a professional boxer and pointed out Fury's impressive skills, including an uppercut that caught Portnoy's attention.

Rogan believed that Fury was a genuine boxer, while Portnoy thought Fury was only popular because of his last name.

Despite Portnoy's objections, Rogan held firm in his belief that Fury was a legitimate fighter.

During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt.

That’s better.” D...
