“Jon Jones Done That to People” – Joe Rogan Compares Ex-UFC Champion to UFC 281’s Molly McCann Conqueror Erin Blenchfield

‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ is the one-stop destination to get insights on almost every possible topic you can think of. However, the conversation gets even more meticulous when the topic is around sports, UFC specifically. The 55-year-old is a UFC aficionado in that regard.

Joe Rogan was in a conversation with Steve-O and stated how being a ‘character’ gets people really attracted to the fighters. And while on the topic, Rogan named fighters like Molly McCann and Erin Blanchfield to be those kinds of ‘wild characters’.

When discussing the fighters, Joe Rogan stated how the 23-year-old is a ‘f****** assassin’ reflecting on her fight with Molly McCann. Rogan even went on to compare Blanchfield with other elites like Jon Jones and Roy Nelson even though she has just started her career.

Joe Rogan recalled his conversation with Dave Portnoy where the latter bet $10,000 on McCann in her fight against Blanchfield. And Rogan thought it was a bad idea to bet against Blanchfield. Moving further, Steve-O talked about that fight, “That was a tough one to watch.” He added, “You never see it when both of a fighter’s arms are absolutely f*****g, just out of the equation.” Responding to that, Rogan went on to compare Erin Blanchfield with Jon Jones. “Jon Jones done that to people”, reflecting on Blanchfield’s performance against McCann.

Rogan further added, “That’s what Roy Nelson use to do with people all the time. It was big country. That was his move. He’d get people in the crucifix.” He stated how getting into a crucifix is one the most terrible positions to be in and that one has to be ‘elite’ to get out of it.

Erin Blanchfield is a BEAST

Discussing his post-fight interview with Blanchfield, Joe Rogan lauded her on how good she is on the ground with such lethal technique. “She’s so good on the ground. And the way she explained it, when I did the post-fight interview. How she explained how she went for the kimura and then Molly got her arms free and then she trapped it again then got the leg over the head.” 

While citing Blanchfield, Rogan mentioned she was begging McCann to tap out because continuing may result in a spiral fracture. True to her moniker, Erin Blanchfield is indeed a “Cold Blooded” fighter.
