Joe Rogan heralded Jon Jones for his swift reply at a press conference

In episode 1920 of JRE, Joe Rogan recalls Bones’ iconic line to DC and claimed it to be one of the greatest quotes in press conferences.

Rogan said “Look, if you’re training for a fight, Don’t drink (alcohol). Don’t do coke…”

“But meanwhile, Jon Jones did… one of the greatest of all time.”

And shared an iconic Jones quote about Daniel Cormier along the same lines. Rogan recalled “One of the greatest f*cking quotes ever when he was, in the press conference with Daniel Cormier after their first fight he goes ‘I beat you when I was doing coke.’ (Laughs)”

The UFC earned a majority of its viewers through press conferences, which let fighters interact with demanding journalists ahead of their match-ups. However, the former light heavyweight champion gave them a lot more than what they asked for in an old press conference.

Only ‘Bones’ could get away with that response

Despite his addiction, Jones proved his mettle against countless opponents. Rogan also confirmed that elite fighters need to abstain from parties, as it adversely impacts their body. Because “At the elite levels, everything has to be on point.”

But, Jones’ attitude to confess his addiction made that quote one of the best UFC quotes according to the UFC commentator. Placing it alongside some of UFC’s iconic pressers, such as Conor McGregor’s famous trash-talking ventures.
