In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast featuring former President Donald Trump, Joe Rogan named Jon Jones among the greatest UFC fighters of all time. Rogan, known for his deep knowledge of MMA, praised Jones for his undefeated record and dominance in the sport. He mentioned that while there are many arguments for who the greatest fighter is, most people would agree that Jones holds that title.
“There’s a lot of arguments for who’s the greatest of all time. Jon Jones, most people would say, is the greatest of all time. Never lost. There’s certainly a very good argument for that. There’s another argument for Georges St-Pierre. I always believe in BJ Penn in his prime, Anderson Silva in his prime. ‘Mighty Mouse’ [Demetrious Johnson]. People forget about ‘Mighty Mouse’ because he’s a smaller guy” Rogan claimed.
