Jon Jones ‘Would Have Slammed’ Hollywood MMA Star if Not for ‘Unusual’ Moves, Michael Jai White Reveals

There is no bigger name in the UFC than the mighty Jon Jones. The current heavyweight champion is out of action and nursing an injury. Despite being out of action, he still finds ways to be a topic of discussion. This time around, he captured the limelight as Michael Jai White indulged in a candid conversation with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on the latter’s podcast.

White once took part in a training session with Jon Jones and during the conversation, he shared his experience with the hosts. Let us find out what the 56-year-old had to say.

Michael Jai White claims to have helped Jon Jones with his unusual technique

Hollywood star Michael Jai White is a long-time practitioner of MMA. He has successfully used his moves in his movies and gathered a lot of fans. It now seems that the 56-year-old is willing to share his trade secrets with Jones. While speaking on the latest episode of the JAXXON PODCAST, White made some claims which might surprise the fans. White also clarified that if they went for a grappling match, ‘Bones’ would come out on top.

“Listen not to sound arrogant. There’s going to be things that I do that’s unusual to him, right? I have been doing it for a long time. Now things I could get away with the first time, I probably wouldn’t get away with the second time. And if we were grappling more then he would have slammed me around the room. But technically, of course, there are things that I am going to do that he hasn’t seen. So it’s not like I didn’t amass certain techniques and things you know are common. So yeah, I would test those things and I would like to you know pass those on,” the actor mentioned.

Jones is without a doubt one of the most skillful fighters in the UFC. His record also backs the claims. However, with White teaching him new stuff, he might just become unstoppable. The current champion was recently in the news for his death threats. Jones was heavily criticized for his action and former champion Henry Cejudo also shared his opinion on the whole.

Henry Cejudo feels Jon Jones might consider retirement after his latest controversy

The year 2024 has not been kind enough to Jon Jones. Not too long ago, the current champion heckled a stand-up comedian while intoxicated. Before the matter could settle down, Jones then threatened a female officer from Drug-Free Sports International. The news gathered a lot of attention and the champion had to undergo an investigation. Former champion Henry Cejudo feels dealing with such accusations can have an impact on his mindset. In a recent video on YouTube, ‘Triple C’ shared his opinion on the controversy.

Cejudo feels that constantly being in such kind of controversy can force the champion to retire. He said, “Yeah, 100 percent [these incidents can make him consider retirement],” He further added, “But hinting on retirement for a guy like Jon, yeah, man. You’re sick of people sh*tting [on you]… ‘This is the last fight, I get into Holywood, make movies.'”

Jon Jones is working hard to get back into the Octagon. However, he will have to take care of controversies outside the Octagon. What do you think about the claims made by Michael Jai White? Let us know in the comments below.
