“His Coaching Is More Than Just Combat Tactics”- Jon Jones Says Henry Cejudo Is a Man of God

Jon Jones made the news recently after he split ways with his long-time head coach Mike Winkeljohn. This dominated headlines as ‘Bones’ had honed his skills at “Jackson Wink MMA” since the beginning of his MMA career. However, after an incident, the former light heavyweight champion, who was barred from training at the gym, had to find a new base.

He now trains out of two gyms. One of them is ‘Fight Ready MMA’, the gym where Henry Cejudo coaches. When asked about working with Cejudo, Jones had this to say-

“It’s amazing. Henry Cejudo is amazing, you know. He’s very family-oriented, he loves martial arts with all of his heart, and he’s a man of god as well. We have that in common, and it’s just a really good thing you know.”

‘Bones’ further praised Cejudo’s coaching, saying, “I really enjoy the way he’s kinda taken me under his wing and just shown me a different way of looking at the game, and not only the martial arts game but life.”
