The debate for the title of the ‘baddest man on the planet’ has been stirring up the internet recently, thanks to comments made by Joe Rogan on his podcast. Recently, Rogan expressed his belief that Jon Jones would emerge victorious if he were to face Tyson Fury in a closed-room fight. However, Fury didn’t take kindly to Rogan‘s remarks and swiftly responded with a fiery video.
This exchange of words has sparked speculation about a potential future showdown between Fury and Jones. Adding fuel to the fire, UFC President Dana White addressed the situation and extended an intriguing offer.
White stated that he is open to the idea of Jones vs Fury and can make the fight happen. In a message to Fury, White assured him that they can come to a financial agreement. Now, UFC veteran and former champion Michael Bisping has given his interesting take on this interesting situation.

Michael Bisping compares Tyson Fury vs Jon Jones to Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor
A while ago, Bisping uploaded a video titled ‘ Dana White Appears Serious About Jon Jones vs Tyson Fury’ on YouTube. In it, he drew a comparison between this potential fight and the boxing spectacle between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor that did 4.3 million PPV buys.
Further, he highlighted the astronomical financial success of that bout, with Mayweather earning a staggering $280 million and McGregor taking home $130 million, making it a collective purse of $410 million.
According to Bisping, the potential mega-fight between Jones and Fury can also replicate this success. “Apparently Floyd Mayweather made a gigantic $280 million. Conor, he managed to get $130 million. Would Tyson Fury and John Jones do similar numbers? I’m gonna say it would”, said the former UFC champion.

Further into the discussion, Bisping was frank in his assessment of Fury‘s chances in a mixed martial arts contest. Firstly, he acknowledged Fury‘s background in a fighting family and his toughness. “He’s a big guy, he’s a powerful man! He comes from a fighting family of gypsies you know they are tough bastards, simple as that. If it was a street fight where you could bite people and stuff, you never know what Tyson might do.”
