Asked by Ilia Topuria whether Jones will fight Aspinall, he replied: "Yes. I think he’ll fight Tom. I think he’ll hang out... for glory. One more glory before the lights fade."
Rogan continued by hailing Jones' skillset, explaining: "Jon’s a conqueror. I think he can’t sit back. The guy developed a spinning back kick at 36!"
He added: "[He] didn’t have a spinning back kick his whole career, then all of a sudden knocks out Stipe with a spinning back kick for the heavyweight title at 36, 37 years old - that’s crazy.

"Jon’s fight IQ is insane, and did a lot of his career partying, which is even crazier. He diminished his body...
"He was so good but he was so good that he was better than everyone in his division.
"So he didn’t work hard, and then when he has to work hard he’s f**king terrifying."
Jones, 37, hasn't fought since his dominant victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 last November. It was his first UFC heavyweight title defence, having captured the vacant title against Ciryl Gane in March 2023.
As for Aspinall, he beat Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in Manchester to defend his interim title.
