The link-up between Jon Jones and Gordon Ryan ahead of UFC 295 has many people talking. But how big of a role has he played in Jones’ training camp?
Ryan, a jiu-jitsu black belt and a multiple-time grappling world champion, has been training with Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) ahead of defending his UFC heavyweight belt against Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the main event of UFC 295 on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden. Ryan clarified that he’s not a full-time coach for Jones, but he has been involved in the preparation – one Jones is very keen on.
