With his comeback win at UFC 285, Jon Jones has once again proved why he is considered the greatest of all time by the MMA community. After ending his three-year sabbatical, Jones defeated Ciryl Gane in the first round, claiming the UFC heavyweight title and showcasing his dominance in the second weight class, leaving the world mesmerized by his sheer brilliance.

However, apart from his illustrious career, ‘Jonny Bones’ has also led a controversial life, a topic that was discussed on Joe Rogan‘s podcast. While many condemn Jones for his past, the UFC commentator believes otherwise and feels that having that element is rather essential for greatness. As thought-provoking as this stance may be, the 55-year-old Rogan has his reasons placed, too.

Joe Rogan hails Jon Jones’ troubled past

During the episode #1950 of the JRE, Joe Rogan and former Super Bowl champion Derek Wolfe discussed the aspect of ‘greatness’ in athletes, and Rogan mentioned ‘Jonny Bones’ in that discussion. Despite Jones’ controversial life outside the octagon, Rogan believes that’s exactly what makes him the ‘greatest’.

The UFC commentator said, “When Jon Jones kept getting into trouble, and people were like, ‘Can you believe what Jon Jones did?’ I’m like, ‘Jon Jones is a wild motherf**ker. That’s why he’s the greatest of all time.”

“Like, you need an element of psycho… You have to be f**ked up.”
