The 57-year-old has been incredibly complimentary of the Englishman and has been massively impressed by his run in the Jon Jones, should it get out of the first round and later into the fight:
“Here’s the question with Aspinall. What happens to Aspinall in the second round?
“If you want to talk about a guy who sprints. If you want to talk about a guy who is fast-twitch, Aspinall might be the fastest heavyweight in the history of the sport.
“I don’t think anybody moves like that guy does. His ability to move the way he moves is so much different to everybody else in the sport,” the American said on his Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.
Although Rogan has been incredibly complimentary of Aspinall, he still finds it hard to bet against Jon Jones. Despite talking up Aspinall’s chances of beating the two-division UFC champion and greatest MMA fighter of all time, the popular podcast simply said he cannot pick against ‘Bones’:
