Part 4/9:
Renowned fighters often face pivotal choices about where to compete. Rogan recounts the experience of transitioning from UFC to One Championship, driven by the controversial close fight against Henry Cejudo. He notes that while the fight was competitive, relying heavily on leg kicks and struggling to engage on the hands, he still felt he performed well but ultimately lost on the scorecards.
Despite the frustration, Rogan considered strategic changes. He shares how the fight made him think about explore new avenues—leading to the decision to leave UFC. His management at the time, including Nak Muay, encouraged him to pursue different opportunities, recognizing that fighting Henry Cejudo again might not have altered his standing or outcome.
