Joe Rogan talks “interesting” Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr fight
This Saturday, November 28, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr will fight – And UFC commentator and famed podcaster Joe Rogan recently weighed in on the bout.

The fight will be stopped if either fighter is cut, and neither fighter will be permitted to go for a knockout. The bout has been called a glorified sparring session, though many have speculated as to if one fighter might bend the rules and drop his opponent.
“Man, it’s interesting, because some people are against it,” Joe Rogan said of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr on his podcast. “[They’re like] ‘I don’t want to see these guys fight. I don’t want to see these guys get hurt.’ But, listen, that has been their whole business.”
“Look at how good Roy [Jones] Jr.’s hands look,” Rogan said. “Look how f**king fast his hand are, man.”
