Morning Report: Joe Rogan says weed-fueled conversation might have led Jon Jones to JacksonWink MMA

Jon Jones has had his struggles with drugs, but apparently, they may also be in some way responsible for him becoming one of the greatest fighters ever.

On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe Rogan and his longtime friend Ari Shaffir reminisced about their experiences hanging out with fighters outside of the cage. Shaffir eventually told a story about the two of them smoking marijuana with Jon Jones in Rogan’s hotel room - back before Jones had become a household name - and then Rogan revealed that that weed-fueled conversation may have directly influenced Jones’ decision to move out to Albuquerque and start training with Greg Jackson.
