Tyson Fury: ‘Little s—tbag’ Joe Rogan to blame for Jon Jones fight talk, ‘zero’ chance MMA fight happens

Tyson Fury needs nothing to do with combined martial arts (MMA).

Regardless of that, Final Combating Championship (UFC) President, Dana White, and the promotion’s Heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, have played along with the thought of a Fury match up. All of it circles again to a considerably random point out of the thought from longtime UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, on his podcast, in accordance with “The Gypsy King.”

“To be trustworthy with you, all this speak of a me and Jon Jones preventing in a cage is completely ridiculous,” Fury stated in a Q&A at Bangtao in Thailand (h/t Bloody Elbow). “Like, I’m the lineal world Heavyweight champion. The person who beat the person going again to John L. Sullivan. Why would I even dream of entering into a cage and wrestling and all that? It’s not my factor.

“It was really Joe Rogan, little s—tbag, who [started this],” he continued. “Simply out of the blue, there was no speak of me or Jon even preventing. Jon’s an excellent man, most likely the GOAT of MMA. [Rogan] stated, ‘Oh, if Tyson Fury goes in a room with Jon Jones he’s going to get completely smashed to bits.’ Like, if somebody goes within the room with me and it’s no holds barred, you’re going to need to kill me to cease me.

“He didn’t say an MMA struggle or a boxing struggle, he stated go in a room collectively and Tyson Fury’s not strolling out,” Fury concluded. “So I don’t know the place it began and Jon stated one thing and I stated one thing and we’ve been going again and ahead.”

Whereas the thought of Fury vs. Jones has gained some traction because of White’s willingness to make it occur, Francis Ngannou was the unique Heavyweight champion to drum up talks with boxing’s most interesting. Fury added that he by no means at any level wished or stated he would struggle Jones in MMA, however welcomed a boxing match.

“There was by no means speak of me saying I used to be going to go in a cage with Jon Jones and go in there and get my arm snapped off. No manner,” Fury stated. “The factor was, I supplied Jon, you need to stroll in a boxing ring and make some actual cash then come and struggle me. However zero probability of me entering into an MMA recreation and rolling round and all that. Zero.”

In relation to Ngannou, “The Predator” started negotiating potentialities with Fury after Fury’s final win over Derek Chisora in Dec. 2022, going so far as to look within the ring after the match. Ngannou has since joined Skilled Fighters League (PFL) and achieved the fight sports activities freedom he lengthy hoped for after changing into a UFC champion in March 2021. Nothing has come to fruition as of but, however Ngannou nonetheless hopes to make his skilled boxing debut earlier than returning to MMA in 2024.

“I’ve supplied to struggle Ngannou in a cage below boxing guidelines with four-ounce gloves on and guess what’s occurred? His arsehole fell out,” Fury stated.

“Clearly my forte shouldn’t be taking folks down and all that kind of stuff, it’s totally different for me,” he added. “It’s like, yeah I’m going to fly a jet aircraft. I don’t know the way to fly a jet aircraft, I do not know. In a stand-up sport, in punching fight, whether or not it’s in a cage, in a telephone field, no matter it’s going to be, in the event that they need to try this, then no drawback. However undoubtedly not, I’m not going into any MMA fights.”
