Craig Jones praises Ashton Kutcher backing up the earlier claim of the BJJ star upon him beating Conor McGregor

Craig Jones spoke highly of Ashton Kutcher. Jones said in the podcast, “He can take a lot of heat for the celebrities he trains… Ashton had a serious medical condition. I don’t know if it was a stroke, but half his body stopped working so he couldn’t move too well.”

His claim was also earlier backed by a BJJ star. He also spoke about Kutcher appreciating his training alongside Jones in BJJ.

Rigan Machado had earlier spoken about the UFC star. The BJJ star is of the opinion that ‘The Notorious’ can be beaten up by Ashton Kutcher. Moreover, he said, “I put all my money (on) Ashton Kutcher. I think he could do really, really good.”

Machado made this surprising statement in a TMZ interview. However, it is pertinent to note that Ashton Kutcher did not say anything about McGregor or fight him in the future.

Additionally, the BJJ legend said, “He’s 200 pounds, 6-2, 6-3, he’s the best. Ashton Kutcher, for me, is my no.1 student. He’s a purple belt, but he has a really good background in wrestling. I think he has a chance to be one of the top guys in jiu-jitsu.”
