Heavyweight boxing superstar Tyson Fury absolutely ripped into Joe Rogan after the popular podcaster suggested Jon Jones would easily handle him in a fight.

‘The Gypsy King’ had his sights set on defending his WBC title this July, but after talks with Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz, and Zheili Zhang seemingly fell through, Tyson Fury is currently at a standstill. With some free time on his hands, Fury decided to spend some of it engaging in a war of words with Joe Rogan.

During a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the former Fear Factor host was adamant that reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones would mop the floor with Tyson Fury in hypothetical fight between the two combat sports icons.

“No one thinks that Tyson Fury can beat Jon Jones in a fight,” Rogan said while talking to comedian Andrew Schulz. “No one thinks that. Tyson doesn’t think that. You want to talk about who’s the baddest man on the planet? If Jon Jones and Tyson Fury are locked into a room, I’m pushing all of my chips on black.

“Tyson Fury is an amazing boxer [but] he doesn’t have a f*cking chance in hell of making it out of that room. Zero chance, he would have to catch Jon immediately with one punch and I just don’t see that happening, man. The threat of the takedown looms so large, that shot would come so unexpectedly and when he gets his hands around you, you’d be stunned.”

Getting wind of Joe Rogan’s comments, Tyson Fury delivered a profanity-laced rant directed at the longtime UFC commentator, calling him a “little p*ssy” and a “f*cking bald-headed midget” in a video clip which you can see below:

Jon Jones and Tyson Fury Expected to Make Their Respective Returns This Winter

Of course, Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury is a fight that we’re 99.9% certain you will never see in any way, shape, or form. Still, fans have often entertained themselves by debating fantasy matchups, similar to the never-ending debate surrounding NBA greats Michael Jordan and Lebron James.

After scoring a quick submission over top heavyweight contender Ciryl Gane at UFC 285, Jon Jones has turned his attention toward a showdown with general consensus heavyweight GOAT Stipe Miocic. Initially slated for the promotion’s annual International Fight Week in July, Jones vs. Miocic is now tipped to headline a November event at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.

As for Tyson Fury, the desire to defend his title in a summertime setting may be lost, but recent reports suggest that he could feature on a December card in Saudi Arabia alongside a heavily rumor heavyweight clash between Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

Joe Rogan asks WWE icon Ric Flair if he’s ‘Scared’ of Ariel Helwani after hilarious misunderstanding

WWE legend Ric Flair recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and the two icons shared some hilarious moments while also discussing Dana White and Ariel Helwani.

WWE legend Ric Flair recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and the two icons shared some hilarious moments while also discussing Dana White and Ariel Helwani.

While legends in their own separate industries, the two icons sat down for what was an epic podcast that just so happened to feature one of the funniest misunderstandings that the Joe Rogan Experience has featured in a long time.

The clip making waves in the MMA world is a short one-minute snippet that starts off with Joe Rogan talking about his relationship with his longtime friend and UFC president Dana White. “I can call Dana at one o’clock in the morning,” Rogan began. “We’ll talk for three hours about fights. Just talk.”

Suddenly, the legend himself, Ric Flair, decides to bring up Ariel Helwani, and that’s when things take a turn for the extremely comical. “Ariel has a good job with him (Dana White), right?” Flair asked.

Ric Flair hilariously mistakes Ariel Helwani for UFC employee and former fighter on Joe Rogan’s podcast

“Ariel Helwani?” Rogan asked, doing a good job of not laughing. It was major news many years ago, but Ariel Helwani and Dana White notoriously broke bad after Helwani leaked UFC news that he was essentially supposed to keep secret.

Dana White and the UFC were extremely angry because, according to them, the UFC was going to release the news themselves, and Helwani violated their trust by choosing to break the news. Helwani was then permanently banned from attending UFC events, media days, press conferences, and basically anything UFC-run.

This is pretty much common knowledge in the industry. Helwani himself brings it up all the time and has famously said he did wonder if it was going to ruin his career, but he chose to persevere and has done extremely well for a professional journalist banned from attending UFC events.

“Ariel Helwani is independent now,” Rogan explained. “He does his own thing… He doesn’t get along with Dana… I don’t have a problem with Ariel. I like Ariel. His show is great… He was with FOX for a while. He was with ESPN for a while… I know his show is very successful.”

The conversation continues to flow before things take a hilarious turn. Flair is about to make a factual blunder that doesn’t really mean anything but is pretty funny to look back on. “I just saw him at WrestleMania,” Ric Flair said. “Ariel is pretty tough, too, right?”

“Is he? I don’t know, I don’t think he ever fought. I don’t even know if he trains,” Joe Rogan answered, kind of chuckling.

“Oh, he didn’t? Well, god. He looks like he did,” Flair responded. Joe Rogan had to chime in here and ask Flair if he was “Scared of him (Ariel Helwani),” to which ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair immediately said, “No.”

“Well, what are you trying to say?” Rogan asked as laughter broke out in the room. Ric Flair does a great job of keeping a straight face even though he had facts a little jumbled and confused. “He looks like he did (fight),” Flair said. “I thought he did fight at one time… He’s well built; he’s very well spoken too.”

The clip ends, and while the things Flair said are harmless, it is pretty funny and endearing to see a living legend like Ric Flair appear so human and get some MMA facts wrong. Humans have a knack for putting people on a pedestal, and when a living icon like ‘The Natureboy’ appears on Joe Rogan’s podcast and gets some facts wrong and looks a bit like an MMA casual, it does come across as very funny, but also extremely endearing to see that happen and realize even people’s idols are just regular humans too.

What do you think of Ric Flair’s funny blunder on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and do you think Ric Flair should be “scared of” Ariel Helwani?

Joe Rogan discusses Conor McGregor alleged PED use acussions amid leg injury: ‘You need help’

UFC commentator Joe Rogan thinks that Conor McGregor could be using something extra in aid of his recovery.

Conor McGregor has been out of almost two years following his horrific leg break suffered against Dustin Porier. Some never return to action and never full recover from such an injury, but McGregor is eyeing a return later on this year against Michael Chandler.

However, during this time off it was revealed that McGregor is nop longer in the USADA testing pool. This, paired with a significant physique change has led many to believe that McGregor was taking some form of performance enhancer.

Joe Rogan weighs in

Talking on his podcast Joe Rogan spoke on McGregor’s situation and while he did not outright accuse ‘The Notorious’ of taking steroids, he did agree that something did seem amiss.

“Let’s speculate. He got out of the USADA testing pool, this is what I would imagine if I was a pro athlete at Conor’s level, you need help.” said Rogan. “You’re not going to heal off that just eating mangos and f*cking eating clean, you need some help. I would want that person to take something. You’d have to consult with an expert sports medicine doctor who would tell you, ‘you want peptides, you want this, you want that.’”

“These are things you can’t take when you’re in USADA”, continued Rogan. “You look at Conor after that leg break, he got f*cking jacked. I’m hoping Conor’s leg is okay. A leg break of that magnitude, Chris Weidman broke his leg in a similar way and he just recently competed in Polaris… For two years, he’s been recovering from this shin break, it’s just brutal. Some guys never bounce back, they’re never the same.” (H/T BJPenn.com)

McGregor is set to return against Chandler following he airing of The Ultimate fighter season 30 which begins May 30.

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan labeled Suphachai Saenchai Saepong, one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters ever, as his favorite in the sport.

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the long-time podcaster spoke with UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal about Muay Thai. When asked about his favorite fighter, Rogan quickly name dropped Saenchai Saepong.

“You got to go with Saenchai Saepong because he’s been around so long and he’s still f–king people up,” Rogan said. “He’s light on his feet and he throws kicks with no telegraph…He’s very different, there’s no one like him.”

Masvidal also shared his thoughts on Saenchai Saepong, calling him the “Michael Jordan of Muay Thai”.

“I think one of the things that makes [Saenchai Saepong] so special is his ability to take you off your feet at any moment,” Masvidal said. “I think he’s like the best at manipulating your balance and sending you flying across the ring.”

Saenchai is a Muay Thai Great

Saenchai Saepong, a former four-division Lumpinee Stadium champion, has competed for over four decades against Muay Thai’s best. He’s known for his flashy striking and elite footwork.

He’s credited for inventing the “cartwheel kick”, an acrobatic technique that’s been used in Muay Thai and mixed martial arts.

Despite his age, the 41-year-old is still active. For the last nine years, he’s frequently competed for the “Thai Fight” promotion. His most recent fight came last December in Bangkok, Thailand, where he beat Elit Honkorng by knockout.

Saenchai Saepong’s last loss happened in 2014 in a decision loss to Petchmorrakot Petchyindee at Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok. Since then, he’s won 65 fights in a row.

In August 2022, Saenchai Saspong signed a multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC). He was originally scheduled to face fellow Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek on March 18 at BKFC 4 but the fight was postponed.
