Heavyweight champ Jon Jones trains with BJJ legend Gordon Ryan ahead of UFC 295 title fight

UFC heavyweight world champion Jon Jones recently hit the mat with one of the greatest BJJ specialists in the sport today, Gordon Ryan.

Next month, ‘Bones’ will return to the Octagon eight months removed from his stunning world-title-winning performance against perennial contender Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. This time, Jon Jones will be defending the title as he meets perhaps the greatest heavyweight in the history of the division, Stipe Miocic. The pair are set to headline the promotion’s return to Madison Square Garden at UFC 295.
