Joe Rogan says Jon Jones would raise the stakes for UFC’s White House event Photo by Michael Schwartz/WireImage Joe Rogan has weighed in on the latest split between Jon Jones and the UFC, discussing it during a conversation with Brendan Schaub on the UFC London Fight Companion podcast. “It was a money thing,” Rogan said. “Jon was saying they wouldn’t budge over $15 million.
” Schaub, however, pointed out that Jones had previously turned down a $30 million offer to face Tom Aspinall and suggested that some of the responsibility falls on him. “They offered him $30 million against Aspinall, and he never made it happen. And then $15 million for the White House card.
