During the interview, Jon Jones was asked about what he thought of Andrew Tate’s fighting skills. Given that ‘Top G’ was a kickboxer in his younger days, ‘Bones’ claimed to have seen some of his training clips. However, the UFC champion has never seen Tate fighting. Nevertheless, he believes that the social media influencer looks like he can handle himself well. Jones said, “I have seen some of his training videos. I haven’t seen too much of his actual work, but he looks pretty solid.”

Jon Jones then praised Andrew Tate for what he’s attempting to achieve. ‘Top G’ has grown to become somewhat of a motivational speaker, sharing his life lessons with people across social media. “I’m just proud of the person that he’s trying to be just for human beings,” Jones added. The UFC champion also shared a few more words of praise for Tate for some of the work he’s doing.

In addition to that, Jon Jones was grateful to Andrew Tate. The reason behind that is ‘Top G’s attempts to share some valuable knowledge, which most people don’t tend to do. Tate has apparently earned Jones’ respect in this regard. I’m grateful for that because not a lot of people do [what Tate is doing and] share what they know. So I’m grateful for him,” ‘Bones’ added.
