Joe Rogan on Jon Jones Coming Back in July

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcasts by night, all day! I got one. See, something about John Jones, I think, this is, I got a theory. I got an older brother theory. And I feel like dudes who have badass older brothers can fucking take it. Like, Wiedemann, Wiedemann had an older brother, and him and the older brother apparently according to some of his interviews, they, you know, his older brother beat him up and shit. Yeah, man. Makes you tough. Like, Matt Hughes, two twins. Imagine looking at yourself every day. Just trying to beat up your show? Crap. And it's just a dead even every fucking time. Just go to war! Just a war. Jim Miller, his brother Dan Miller. My brother used to beat me up, but I never, not beat me up, but just like, sock my shoulder. Like, if I would fart, he would sock me full. I'd have to sit there and I would take it. I would never fight back. No, but just like in boxing, there's the Smith family, Liam Smith, Aldo Smith. There's four brothers. Three are world champions. Cole Miller and Micah Miller. They're all just fucking, yeah. Savages. Monsters, man. Do some people like that. Low's On Brothers. Yep, the Low's On Brothers. There you go. No Garab Brothers. No Garab Brothers. Shit. Twins there, right, too. There's a bunch, man. Dude, so many mods. Shogun and Ninja. Oh, here's something that fucking rock your world or not rock your world, but if John Jones wasn't such, you know, a fuck up for lack of better terms, he would, we're not even having this conversation that Mighty Mouse is the best ever. Just going based off his regular schedule now, he'd be 13, 14 time world champ if no one beat him and he'd probably be fighting that heavyweight and having that belt, too. Going down as best ever. Well, he's still got a chance. I mean, John Jones only 30 years old, which is crazy because that means he's really about to jump into his prime. I'd say like an athlete's prime for combat sports. I feel like it's somewhere around 30 to 32. For heavyweight. I see. I don't think everyone, I think the lighter weight classes, it's earlier. But look at the welterweights. The champs are always around that age, except for GSP. I think he won the title when he was in his late 20s. Yeah. Right. When is Tyron Woodley's what, 33? Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. I mean, yeah. Wrestling back. What's the latest for John Jones? Who was, how old's Robbie? John Jones is, his suspension comes up in July. Do you hear what Dana White said today? I texted you. Yeah. They're going to fight. It was a bread. Akimoto, right? Akimoto interviewed Dana White from ESPN. He said that DC will fight John Jones. But if John Jones isn't ready by, I think it's the July card. Yeah. July 29th. Yeah. If he's not ready by then, then he's going to fight Jimmy Manoa and then they'll fight down the road. Crazy. So no warm up for John Jones. If he does want one, then. What do you think about that? Do you think that's smart for John? Or do you think John should take a warm up? He should take a warm up. The UFC should give him a warm up because Joe, when has it ever worked when a guy takes this much time off and just throw them right to the top of the heap? Think of Veranda. Think of Chael Sonnen. There's a lot of guys. And people go, well, Dominic Cruz. Dominic Cruz didn't fight Cody Garbrandt, T.J. Jilishaw after all that time. He fought Mizasaki, who's a tough guy. Mizasaki. And then he went right into T.J. I say. But still a warm up. But T.J. was, no, T.J. was a big gap. I know, but at least he didn't fight T.J. That first fight back, he ain't being T.J. Right. But you know that he got injured after the Mizasaki fight and it was another year plus before he fought again. True. And he might be the outlier here, but I'm just saying. He's an outlier. He's not like, but but he's not as good in the first fight. If you look at him in the T.J. fight and then you look at him in the second fight when he fought Uriah Faber. He's way better in Uriah Faber. He's more lean. He's fitter. And he's he dealt with a lot of the problems that he has. He has serious plantar fasciitis, man. Yeah. Have you ever had that? No, I heard it's a fucking nightmare. I've had to deal with it. And you look at his style. What is that? It's like the fascia in the bottom of your feet tears. You can't even like you can't get out of bed to warm up. It's a fucking nightmare. It's impossible. You're a dominant. Cruz is all footwork. And what happened is after he tore his ACL, he took a long time off and his feet just weren't strong enough to keep up with his training because his training is so foot foot. Yeah. Movement. Yeah. That's why I got it. Yeah. Back to the point. Should John get a warm up? You're you're in the grand scheme of things. I understand we want these big paydays and you want the big ratings. So you toss them. I see John Jones a huge raider. Right. But if something happens like Ronda Rousey lost, what happens? We gave Ronda warm up. So you get paid on that huge draw and then she fights the huge draw. But when you just toss them right to the very top, it's a one and done man. Well, it doesn't make sense to me. They were worried, I guess, you know, with the sale, you know, you buy something for like four billion dollars. You want to you want to maximize your profits. You know, it's just the issue comes up with purists. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
