The UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, during a recent trip to Arizona, was spotted training alongside former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo and his Fight Ready team. Jones had the opportunity to spend some time on the mats with one of the top wrestlers in the United States. 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and two-time World Champion J’den Cox joined in for a wrestling session with Jones on Saturday and they both posted videos from the session.

Jon Jones had a great time training with J’den Cox
Jones paid a tribute to Cox, who is a collegiate wrestler out of the University of Missouri — the same program that produced former UFC champion Tyron Woodley as well as recent lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler.
“I need some milk, J’den Cox just served me up some serious humble pie,” Jones wrote on Twitter.

Cox is also one of the only Americans to hold a win over two-time Olympic medalist Kyle Snyder. He also has multiple victories over recent gold medalist David Taylor as well as fellow bronze medalist Kyle Dake.
“I had a great experience getting to wrestle and talk with Jon Jones,” Cox wrote on Instagram. “Also you can’t go wrong with hanging around Henry Cejudo! It’s fun being around legends.”
Jones responded to Cox’s post by showing gratitude for the training session.
“Today was amazing, thank you,” Jones said to Cox. “You are an inspiration man.”
In his most recent bronze medal performance at the 2021 World Championships of Wrestling, Cox competed in the 92-kilogram category, which is just under 203 pounds. In recent weeks, Jones has been training at multiple gyms after he decided to leave his former home at the Jackson-Wink Academy after head coach Mike Winkeljohn temporarily banned him from the facility following his arrest on domestic violence charges.
