“Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou. The only thing that I would hope if that ever happens. Is that we allow Ngannou to get the press that he deserves. Do like to pump him up in a way that he deserves it. To make that fight big,” Rogan stated.

“Dude, what a fight that would be. What a fight that would be. We’ve never seen Jon where he doesn’t have to lose weight. What if he’s eating healthy, just good large portions and hydrating as much as he wants all day long? Maybe he’s 10% better. We don’t know. Maybe Jon Jones is the best 240 pounds heavyweight in the world, but he’s just been fighting at 205.”

Rogan, in the same conversation, also speculated that if Ngannou wins the fight against Jones, then it would completely change the Cameroonian’s life. As he would become a tremendous success story, not only in his home country but also here in the United States.

And now, he’s murking up people, and he’s only been fighting for six years. And he developed his strength, by the way, in a sandmine when he was a child. He’s doing child labor.”
