Jiri Prochazka also did not leave this card unscathed, but Rogan was full of praise for his display of courage inside the Octagon, telling fans:

Joe Rogan hails UFC 327 as one of the best cards in MMA history
Joe Rogan’s association with the UFC stretches back even further than Dana White’s, and he’s called more fights than most fans can count. So when he calls an event one of the best, it carries weight.
Speaking during the post-fight show alongside Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier, Rogan reflected on a night that featured a standout heavyweight clash and capped off with a memorable main event finish.
“I love boxing, I love other combat sports. There is nothing like MMA, and tonight proved it. Tonight was one of the greatest cards of all time.
“In terms of result, in terms of watching it as a fan experience, other than the Dominick Reyes vs Johnny Walker fight, which, unfortunately, was a dud, all those other fights were sensational. Watching Cub Swanson go out like that was amazing.
“Watching that Hokit v Curtis fight was bananas. And then the main event… You want to talk about unpredictable? The guy blows his knee out, we’re all disappointed ‘like ‘oh, no, it’s so – Bam!’ Perfect left hook, he’s the new king. I mean, what a night.”
