The ongoing debate over who holds the title of the baddest fighter alive between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury has ignited a firestorm in the world of combat sports. It all began when Joe Rogan crafted a hypothetical scenario, pitting the UFC heavyweight champion against the current WBC heavyweight champion. In his bold statement, Rogan emphatically declared that ‘The Gypsy King’ wouldn’t stand a chance against Jones. This assertion immediately captivated the attention of fight enthusiasts worldwide, reaching even the ears of the boxer himself.

As a result, the 34-year-old boxer lashed out at the UFC commentator for his unfavorable take, vehemently asserting his claim to be the ‘baddest man on the planet.’ As tensions rose and the controversy escalated to an extreme extent, Dana White entered the fray and offered to arrange a match between Jones and Fury in the formidable octagon. However, Tyson Fury refused to step into the cage, firmly maintaining his domain.

With this subject growing more complex by the minute, it seemed that the debate would remain unresolved. Yet, amidst the chaos, a welterweight fighter from the UFC emerged with an ingenious solution to settle the heated dispute. Interestingly enough, this solution doesn’t involve either the domain of MMA or boxing, and the fans are truly intrigued.
