Current reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones appears to have a few aces up his sleeve when it comes to fight prep for his title defense against Stipe Miocic on November 11 — most recently, he’s joined forces with jiu-jitsu superstar Gordon Ryan, who’s been helping Jones sharpen some ground skills.
Gordon recently shared a post-training photo of himself with the heavyweight champ on Instagram, simply captioned, “Back to work. 5 weeks.” Jones gleefully chimed in, “Meanwhile, Stipe over there preparing for a boxing match.”
Jones additionally Tweeted, “My boy, Gordon Ryan served me up a large hot piece of humble pie tonight. It was exactly what I was looking for, at the same time my emotions are all messed up. Going to have a hard time sleeping tonight.. expect singing videos at 2 AM.”
