The greatest heavyweights in MMA history aren't limited to the gates of the UFC. Stipe Miocic, Francis Ngannou, Cain Velasquez... all fine candidates for heavyweight 'GOAT', but Joe Rogan's pick is a little different than most.

Du Plessis successfully defended his UFC middleweight championship over the weekend after unanimously defeating Sean Strickland. The fight went all five rounds in the Octagon at UFC 312 held in Sydney, Australia, but all three judges scored the fight in Du Plessis's favour with scores of 50-45, 50-45 and 49-46.

The former UFC double-champion is still without a fight and hasn't graced the Octagon in nearly four years. With ongoing legal proceedings and non-MMA-related responsibilities, it's looking increasingly unlikely that he will set foot in the Octagon again.

Joe Rogan isn't concerned about the one title defense of UFC featherweight champ Ilia Topuria has, still wanting him to fight 155lb champion Islam Makhachev.

Joe Rogan has made his stance clear on Ilia Topuria's next move, and if it were up to him, the UFC featherweight champion would not stay at 145 pounds for long.
