Jon Jones will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic next in a heavyweight title bout at UFC 295 in November in New York. Miocic, perhaps one of the most underrated fighters in UFC history has defeated some great champions like Daniel Cormier and Francis Ngannou. And Miocic is known for his excellent wrestling, and to take him on, Jones is pulling out all the stops.

In perhaps the greatest crossover event since Avengers Infinity War, BJJ GOAT Gordon Ryan went to Albuquerque to train with the 36-year-old. Ryan posted pictures from his visit to the UFC heavyweight champion on his official Instagram account with a caption praising Jones, calling him “an exceptional athlete” and hoping that the New York native would visit again. ‘Bones’ responded to the 28-year-old’s praise and wrote “Gordon you are an extraordinary human being, I’m grateful to call you friend”.
