UFC champ Jon Jones and boxing champion Tyson Fury are arguing over who’s the baddest man on the planet. UFC president Dana White is keen to cease jabbering and discover out.
White doesn’t usually like going off script for UFC fights, however within the case of Tyson Fury, he’s keen to make an exception. Although he’s at the moment focusing on a heavyweight title protection for Jones at Madison Sq. Backyard in November, White addressed the current scuttlebutt swirling round Jones and Fury’s verbal battle over who’s the fictional baddest man on the planet.
All of the squawking began after UFC commentator and well-liked podcaster Joe Rogan mentioned on his podcast that Jones would handily defeat Fury in a battle. And we’re not speaking boxing right here. Rogan meant an precise battle.
“I’ve an excellent relationship with Tyson Fury, however there’s a debate proper now concerning the baddest man on the planet. Jon Jones is the baddest man on the planet. There is no such thing as a doubt about it,” White declared on the UFC Vegas 74 post-fight press convention.
“If two guys fought, in a battle, who would win? If you wish to focus on one other doable baddest man on the planet, it might be Tyson Fury in a boxing area. Everyone knows that if Jon Jones boxed Tyson Fury, Tyson Fury wins. All these boxing guys wanna discuss this they usually wanna hold it within the ring.”
However White doesn’t see a strict boxing match proving who’s the baddest man on the planet. And in all honesty, even preventing beneath MMA guidelines doesn’t essentially show the baddest man on the planet. In any case, when guidelines are concerned, it limits the preventing. In a real, who may beat who on the road, something goes.
That, in fact, isn’t going to occur. However White is keen to get near that by providing Fury a battle with Jones within the Octagon. And he sounds utterly severe.
“I’m telling Tyson Fury, whom I respect very a lot, if you happen to actually need to discover out who the baddest man on the planet is, I’ll make that battle. I’ll make Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury within the Octagon,” White continued.
“We found out the best way to pay Floyd (Mayweather when he boxed Conor McGregor). We’ll work out the best way to pay you too, Tyson. The supply is on the market. If you wish to do it, within the UFC – I do know he was messing round with MMA for some time there – let’s do it. You need the title of the baddest man on the planet? Let’s do it!”
