Rogan: Jon Jones is G.O.A.T. MMA f@$% up

Jon Jones is believed by many to be the best fighter in UFC history. And he is believed by many, including Joe Rogan, to be the biggest f*** up in UFC history. The light heavyweight champion is current provisionally suspended after he tested positive for turinabol.

Jon Jones, with this, becomes the number one f*** up of all time, for sure, if he wasn’t already,” said Rogan on a recent JRE, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “This is the biggest one ever. We can only hope and pray that somehow or another there’s some mistake.

Here’s the thing, we don’t know what was really going on now. Now I think we are allowed to have complete, open speculation with zero concern for being respectful. After the dick pill thing you gotta go, ‘Look man, the dude was partying, he was taking some dick pills.’ Coke, I don’t give a f*** about coke. That’s not helping you. Then you hear about this and you go, ‘Wait a minute, what is this?’ I want to know what this is.

This is a weird one because if he was taking what you describe as some short-acting, quick-leaving your system steroid that makes you aggressive, you have to ask how long was he doing this for? Was he doing this during training? Did this amp him up? Did this help his work rate? Did this make him more aggressive and more confident in training. Did it add to his confidence when he was fighting? What is this? We don’t know.

Even if Jones is somehow exonerated for this failed test, it doesn’t change history. In 2015 he was stripped of the full title after driving his rental into a pregnant woman, breaking her arm, fleeing, then returning to stuff cash into his shorts, and then fleeing again. In 2016 he was stripped of the interim title after failing a PED test before a unification fight at UFC 200; that one was attributed to taking a tainted, bootleg erectile dysfunction pill. Now it’s 2017; it’s certain that Jon Jones will do something unfortunate, with major career consequences, or has already.
