'Bones' has achieved many remarkable milestones, including becoming the youngest UFC champion at just 23 years old. He accomplished this by defeating Mauricio Rua by TKO at UFC 128, winning the light heavyweight title.

A few months ago, on episode #2232 of his podcast featuring Josh Brolin, Rogan praised Jones and highlighted several of his significant achievements in the leading MMA promotion, saying:

"Jon is a special dude. When he's gone, we're all gonna miss him. He's been at the top for fourteen f**king years. He won the title – the youngest guy to ever win a UFC title... When Jon Jones won that title in 23 [age], it's just been destruction of everyone ever since. Never ducked anybody, fought all the best, destroyed everybody, dominated his division, went up to heavyweight, dominates at heavyweight."

"Tom Aspinall, the guy who just won the interim title, he's phenomenal, and he is again the next advancement of the evolution of the sport... He can do everything, that guy's got elite jiu-jitsu, he's got elite takedowns, his striking is outstanding."

He added:

"I mean, he knocked out Sergey, who's the scariest f**king striker in all of MMA, and he knocked him out in the first round, and the way he did it was just picture perfect, and he did it with a f*cked up back."
