"Imagine that feeling of strangling Ciryl Gane" - When Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz dove into wild take on Jon Jones as modern-day samurai

Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz are noted fans of Jon Jones, with both men once sharing their thoughts on the latter's impressive submission win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. The pair even made an analogy of 'Bones' as a modern-day samurai on episode #1960 of the Joe Rogan Experience.

Jones' win over Gane is among his best-ever, as it saw him make easy work of the Frenchman by securing an effortless takedown and submitting him with a half-mounted guillotine choke against the fence to force the tap, all within two minutes of Round 1. Opening up on Jones, Schulz said:

"Like Jon Jones would be the modern-day version of the elite samurai. Looking at these guys, like these UFC dudes are really like, this is the modern-day version of it. We just have a structure for them to operate in."

In turn, the longtime UFC commentator touched on what the experience of being Jones, the arguable MMA GOAT, would feel like:

"You're doing it in front of the world, and the rewards? Like if you wanna be Jon Jones, good luck, it's a lot of work. But if you get to be Jon Jones, it's like wow! Imagine that feeling. Imagine that feeling of strangling Ciryl Gane like a f*cking minute into the fight and everybody being, like, 'Woooow! He's the GOAT, that's it.'"

Check out Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz's thoughts on Jon Jones below (2:44:09 and 2:44:59):

Jones reigns as the current UFC heavyweight champion, having recently defended his belt against heavyweight great Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. The MMA world, though, is eager to watch him face Tom Aspinall, the division's interim champion, but there has been little movement regarding that bout.
