The current UFC heavyweight champion, Jones, is scheduled to defend his title against the ex-champion Stipe Miocic. This will be the main event at UFC 295, planned for Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden, New York. With this colossal battle just under three months away, Jones has been training both on the mats with five-time ADCC world champion Gordon Ryan and also at the shooting range.
Videos showing Jones and Ryan training together can be found below, all of which are available through Jones’ Instagram account.
Jones has made a significant comeback after a hiatus that lasted over three years and involved relinquishing the UFC light heavyweight title. He made a triumphant return to the octagon in March by defeating Ciryl Gane in the first round at UFC 285, thereby seizing the vacant heavyweight title. The fighter known as “Bones” is still weighing whether the battle with Miocic will be his last time in the octagon. However, the division still holds exciting potential matchups for Jones, with fighters like Sergei Pavlovich, Tom Aspinall, and Jailton Almeida rising to prominence and creating quite a buzz.
