Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest talents in the history of MMA, but the story of how his skills developed may have just received a new chapter. In the latest edition of the “JRE MMA Show,” longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan and his friend Ari Shaffir spent more than three hours reminiscing about their decades together behind the scenes of the sport’s biggest promotion. Along the way, Shaffir brought up a moment in time that may very well have changed the course of UFC history. “Early on Jon Jones, he wasn’t anything then – 4-0, maybe, something like that – meeting him, talking about (expletive), and I can talk about this now because it’s no longer a banned substance in the UFC, but talking about weed,” Shaffir recalled.
