“I Think Joe Rogan Started This…”- UFC Commentator Blamed for Tyson Fury’s “Tough Position” Against Jon Jones Amid Dana White’s Approval

Shockwaves erupted in the combat sports world when UFC Heavyweight champion Jon Jones started a beef with the WBC Champion Tyson Fury. Twitter was buzzing with comments and speculations in anticipation of one of the greatest fights that can ever happen.

However, the feud had started with Joe Rogan and his podcast in the center. The UFC commentator picked Jones over Fury in a hypothetical fight. This irked Fury, who then subsequently engaged in a verbal feud with the UFC HW champ. Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen divulged details of all that has been going on in a video on his YouTube channel.

An opportunity wasted? Or in the making? Sonnen’s perspective of Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury

Jon Jones is not scared of anyone. His UFC record is a clean sheet with his only loss coming from a DQ. Tyson Fury, on the other hand, is The Gypsy King of boxing with the WBC title hung over his shoulders. Two of the biggest athletes from their respective sports beefing – it was a matter of time before people got hyped.

In his recent YouTube video, Chael Sonnen addressed these rumors by providing some clarity on what has been happening.

“I believe Dana himself could put this fight on [Jones vs. Fury]… because it’s got Team Fury in a very precarious position. They thought when they came and puffed up… I think Joe Rogan started this with Tyson and I think they were just kind of having a friendly back and forth. I don’t know that this was actually a thing but it sure has become one… right?” said Sonnen, addressing that the potential fight is a possibility and that it needs to be made without delay. 

However, ever since the dream super-fight has seen a ray of hope of becoming a reality, Tyson Fury and his team have apparently started pointing out challenges associated with making it happen. 

“Where Tyson’s in a tough position is when he came out and said that he would fight John Jones – and he’ll do MMA and this guy’ll box and we’ll do this and you’ll never – you’ll never come and fight me here Jon Jones – you will stand up with the QUee’s Berets and I’ll fight you anytime – and Jon said okay I’ll do that.” reported Sonnen, implying that Fury was not ready for Jones to agree to his conditions.
