Controversies, rivalries, and call-outs are what the world of combat sports thrives upon. One such incident involving Joe Rogan, Jon Jones, and Tyson Fury, has taken over the internet. Previously, in an episode of the JRE, Rogan made a comment that he would bet on Jones if the heavyweight was locked in a room with Fury

Without a doubt, ‘The Gypsy King’ didn’t like where the talks were going. He finally took it upon himself and sent a strong reply to the UFC color commentator. He declared that no one could mess him up in a ring. However, ‘Bones’ seemed to swoop in to rescue Rogan. He took to Twitter and unleashed his rage!

The JRE host is infamous for hyping up the fighters. However, little did he know that one of his comments would ignite a spark that would return as hellfire. But now that it is done, Jon Jones and Fury’s names being brought together seem to be cooking up a lot of excitement.

‘Bones’ simply could not let Fury bash one of his greatest supporters. On Twitter, he admitted that he would not go after ‘The Gypsy King’ inside the ring. That being said, he wouldn’t allow the boxer to prevail in the cage.

He wrote, “Hey Tyson, it seem like Joe may have struck a nerve. I’ll admit there’s no one touching you in that ring right now, but let’s not let that confuse you with what would happen if you stepped foot in my cage. If you ever want to put some of those questions you got going on to rest, give Dana a call. I’ll help you out.”

A few weeks ago, Rogan made a comment that Jones was the ‘baddest man on the planet’. To back his statement, he made the audience imagine a situation where Jones was locked in a room with Fury. In that instance, Rogan claimed that he would put all his money on Jones.

The comment sparked a response from Fury. He made a video where he addressed Rogan’s comments. He said, “I’m the baddest man on the planet. I heard Joe Rogan say something about me everyday, and I’ve been off on all the social medias and didn’t reply to the little p**sy. Little f**king midget, bald headed midget.”
