WOAH! Jon Jones Gets Dominated by an Olympic Medalist in New Sparring Session Video
Follow Us
Jon Jones, by many, is widely regarded as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. He is a former two-time UFC light heavyweight champion and defended his title eight times before being stripped. And three times after regaining it.
‘Bones’ after his last fight against Dominick Reyes relinquished the light heavyweight belt and announced that he will move to the heavyweight division. He hasn’t competed since that fight and is training to get in shape before he enters the octagon again. Jones recently started working at Fight Ready MMA and Fitness with Henry Cejudo and others.
Jones, in a recent sparring session, was wrestling with the former Olympic bronze medalist in freestyle wrestling, J’den Cox. In a video, Jones was seen getting dominated by the wrestler. In a post, Jones said, “Sometimes you the hammer, sometimes you’re the nail. I’m humbled and grateful. Days like today will only make me better. Grateful to have the opportunity to work with some of the best athletes in the world.”

Jones later took to Twitter to praise the wrestler and said, “I need some milk, J’den Cox just served me up some serious humble pie.”

Whether the fight is happening or not, Jones is still planning a return to the octagon next year. He has been training with former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo after being suspended from his old gym. In a recent tweet, ‘Bones’ announced that he is only a few months away, and is looking forward to the Ngannou – Gane fight. He wrote, “I’m just a few months away now, can’t wait to see who wins this fight in January.”
