Media Don The Dragon Wilson on fighting Rogan: I would have to take him seriously.

Sidebar convo; does anyone really believe that Joe had amatuer kickboxing competition experience? There's zero information on this that I can find.

Never looked it up, but it seems plausible enough to me. I dont think he would lie about something like that.
 
Don Wilson was a legend. Here he is destroying Art Jimmerson (of UFC 1 fame) in a hybrid kickboxing rules match. I believe Wilson was limited to 5 leg kicks per round or something. As far as Rogan-Wilson hypothetical, it all depends when and the rules. Wilson annihilates Rogan in kickboxing/karate or any pure striking event any time in the 80s/90s and probably through early 2000s. Once Rogan was competent in BJJ, he probably wins in MMA being 12 years younger and having a grappling skillset.

He was a wrestler first. He placed forth in Florida

Wilson said Mike Tyson would have knocked him out though.
That doesn't change anything in my post. Wilson competed between 175-190 pounds his entire career. Michael Spinks was a very good but undersized HW boxer and Tyson's size and power were too much for him.
