Dana White’s plans ‘for biggest fight in UFC history’ in major doubt as Joe Rogan makes bombshell retirement revelation
Share:
DANA WHITE's grand plans for a historic UFC title fight could soon go up in smoke, commentator Joe Rogan has suggested. The MMA mogul is currently in the process of negotiating what he believes could end up being "the biggest fight in UFC history". White and the rest of the UFC brass are hard at work trying to finalise a historic heavyweight title unification fight between undisputed and interim titleholders Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall.

White is confident of convincing Jones to stick around and unify the titles against the burly Brit, although Rogan has stunningly claimed 'Bones' is thinking of hanging up his gloves. During a recent episode of his podcast, he said: “Apparently Jon is thinking about retiring,” Rogan said. “And he should.

"He’s going to have to someday. I’m not saying he should retire, I’m saying he should think about it.". Rogan recently retracted his claim that Jones is asking for a whopping £24.5MILLION ($30M) to face Aspinall. But the veteran commentator insists the MMA legend - who sensationally stopped Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 last November - deserves a mammoth payday.

He said: "Give the man all the time he wants. He can fight whenever he wants to fight. That’s Jon Jones. He’s the GOAT. "So leave him alone. If he decides one day to come back, and he comes back and wants to fight Tom Aspinall for the heavyweight title.
