VIDEO: Joe Rogan was more shocked than any of us to hear of the Jon Jones drug story

If you thought you were surprised to hear that Jon Jones had tested positive for traces of cocaine and was set to enter a rehabilitation facility, Joe Rogan multiplied that level of shock tenfold.

Thanks to the magic of video podcasting, we were able to see the UFC commentator hear of the news for the first time last night. It's a cacophony of "WOW" and "No way!" when the news broke as he was midway through recording the latest edition of his podcast (The Joe Rogan Experience #595). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axUZfGIOMu8 Rogan echoed the thoughts of the MMA community when he pondered "I wonder if he loses his title?" While it's unlikely that the UFC light heavyweight champion will be stripped of his belt, it is a serious blotch on the image of the UFC's biggest name. The video is obviously more comedy-based than hard-hitting news as comedian Nick diPaolo adds to the conversation. The pair, as well as Rogan's buddy Brian Redban, hypothesise that this tweet was the explanation behind traces of a cocaine metabolite being found in Jones' system considering that the test took place on December 4th.

Bye Brazil thank you so much for the great time.. Now back to Boot Camp #ABQ — Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) December 1, 2014
