The debate for the title of the ‘baddest man on the planet’ has been stirring up the internet recently, thanks to comments made by Joe Rogan on his podcast. Recently, Rogan expressed his belief that Jon Jones would emerge victorious if he were to face Tyson Fury in a closed-room fight. However, Fury didn’t take kindly to Rogan‘s remarks and swiftly responded with a fiery video.

According to Bisping, the potential mega-fight between Jones and Fury can also replicate this success. “Apparently Floyd Mayweather made a gigantic $280 million. Conor, he managed to get $130 million. Would Tyson Fury and John Jones do similar numbers? I’m gonna say it would”, said the former UFC champion.

Further into the discussion, Bisping was frank in his assessment of Fury‘s chances in a mixed martial arts contest. Firstly, he acknowledged Fury‘s background in a fighting family and his toughness. “He’s a big guy, he’s a powerful man! He comes from a fighting family of gypsies you know they are tough bastards, simple as that. If it was a street fight where you could bite people and stuff, you never know what Tyson might do.”

However, ‘The Count’ bluntly expressed his belief that in a regulated MMA environment, ‘The Gypsy King’ would have “no chance in hell” against a skilled MMA fighter like Jon Jones.
