Joe Rogan praises Jon Jones for controversial decision
Jon Jones was supposed to defend his light heavyweight title against Dan Henderson in September 2012.
However, an injury to the challenger led to the UFC who tried to set up a late notice fight with Chael Sonen.
Jones refused to make the notice period of Sonnen opposite Sonnen and the UFC has canceled an event for the first time in its history.
The decision of the American Fighter is still not with some fans 13 years later, but Rogan believes that his ability to place his (almost) perfect record above money and pleasant people makes Jones the goat.
“Jon Jones is the smartest,” Rogan said on his podcast. “They have changed opponents.” F— You, fighting is out. ”
“Even boys like Chael Sonnen, which he eventually stamped in the first round. As, absolutely destroyed. It was not even competitive remotely. It was a destruction. It would have been a destruction 365 days a year for decades.
“As big as Chael is Sonnen, Jon Jones was the bigger man. Chael had fought at 185 pounds, Jon was a big 205 member, he was the most talented man ever fought in the sport, and he is going to win every time.
“But when they changed the opponent and tried to make Chael Sunen, he said as:” No. We are doing things in the right way. I go through a complete camp. That's it, the fight is eliminated. “Everyone was” Ah! ” Because they want your ball to play.
“To this day, everyone says that he is the goat. Why is he the goat? Because he did everything in the right way.
“If you try to call Jon Jones for a late notice fight on a five-day cancellation period, he will tell you that you have to go yourself.”
What is the next step for Jon Jones?
Jon Jones has not fought anymore since the elimination of Stipe Miocic on UFC 309 in November.
There are conversations for a heavyweight unification with interim title holder Tom Aspinall.
UFC Baas Dana White it says that the fight was 'done', simply not done enough to publicly announce.
It seems that Jones vs Aspinall will take place this year at a certain moment, but exactly when and where is unclear.
For the time being, MMA fans are waiting impatiently for an official update about the latest UFC Superfight.
