According to Rogan, Chimaev’s decision to stop killing himself to make 170 pounds has transformed him into an even more dangerous fighter at middleweight. The way he manhandled Whittaker, a notoriously difficult fighter to take down, suggested Rogan might be onto something. And maybe fans would be in for a treat as the UFC navigates their options after a tremendous card that was UFC 308!
