4 Years Before Settling “Baddest Man” Debate Between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury, Joe Rogan Deciphered UFC HW Champion’s Skills in Front of Mike Tyson

In the world of mixed martial arts, Jon Jones has achieved the unimaginable, defying all expectations throughout his remarkable career. After a three-year hiatus, Jones made an audacious comeback, venturing into the heavyweight division to face the formidable Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Astonishingly, he dismantled his opponent with ease, securing a first-round submission victory and claiming the divisional title in his debut.

Jones’ astounding triumph garnered widespread acclaim from the MMA community. It is through these extraordinary accomplishments that he solidifies his status as arguably the greatest in the realm of mixed martial arts. One of the many advocates of Jones’s supremacy is none other than the revered UFC commentator, Joe Rogan. In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan fearlessly shared his bold opinion on Jon Jones’s prowess. Rogan boldly asserted that if Jones were to engage in a brawl with the current WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, there would be no question about the outcome.

With unwavering confidence, Rogan declared, “You want to talk about who’s the baddest man on the planet? If Jon Jones and Tyson Fury are locked into a room, I’m pushing all of my chips on black.” He firmly believed that in such a scenario, Fury would have “no chance” of emerging victorious.

This is not the first occasion where Joe Rogan has showered the reigning UFC heavyweight champion with praise. Approximately four years ago, during a memorable podcast episode featuring the boxing GOAT Mike Tyson, Rogan expressed his profound admiration for Jon Jones.
