It’s no secret that multi-time UFC middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero is a physical freak of nature, but on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the promotion’s chief color commentator and the podcast’s namesake went as far as to say that Romero’s super-human status has been medically confirmed.
Speaking with fellow comedian Tom Segura on the podcast’s 1,447th episode on Wednesday, Rogan brought up a story about the 43-year-old Cuban Olympic wrestling standout after he and Segura briefly discussed the blockbuster Netflix documentary Icarus, which revealed a massive doping scandal involving Russian Olympians.
“Well, did you hear me talking about Yoel Romero?” Rogan began. “[UFC President] Dana White gave me this information.”
According to Rogan, the UFC brought Romero to an optometrist following one of his recent bouts with the promotion to have his orbital area examined.
“They brought in Yoel Romero because he had a fractured orbital in one of his fights,” said Rogan, “and, they bring him in, and he gets examined by this doctor, and the doctor calls the UFC up afterwards."
"Where did you get this guy?"
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve never seen anyone like him."
“Oh, yeah, he’s an amazing athlete.”
“No, no, no. I’ve never seen a human being like this. This is the most unusual human being I’ve ever seen in my 40 years of practicing medicine. The tendons in his eyes are four times larger than a normal person’s. His physical structure is different than any human being I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“Woah,” said Rogan, stunned.
“Woah,” said Segura, stunned.
“Cuba," said Rogan. "Who knows what kind of wacky experiments they were doing purportedly of the Cuban government and its sporting teams."
“Russian pills when he was a kid," said Segura. "That’s for sure.”
