Fans have always been curious about what would happen if these two fighters ever faced each other in the octagon. Recently, Joe Rogan had the legendary wrestler Ric Flair as a guest on his podcast, JRE 31974. During the podcast, they discussed the possibility of Jon Jones vs Brock Lesnar and what would happen if the two ever fought.

According to Rogan, it would have been a very interesting fight. Primarily, because Lesnar had excellent wrestling skills and his power doubles were almost impossible to resist. “That would have been very interesting because Brock was so f*cking big. Brock’s wrestling was so good. When that guy shot a power double, it was like getting hit by a bus. He was so big, it would have been interesting,” said Rogan.
