Jones told how he prepared for his UFC debut in a barn

John Jones, the current UFC heavyweight champion and former light heavyweight champion, spoke about how he prepared for his debut in the promotion.

“Andre Gusmao trained with Gracie in BJJ and had a black belt in capoeira, which was rare in our country. I believe he also trained with Roger or Jeff Mayweather for a while. These achievements of his frightened me. And at that time I was training on my friend’s farm. He had a big barn at the back of the farm and I trained there for my UFC debut. It was like Rocky vs. Drago, this guy was Drago and he had it all...” said “Bones.”

Let us remind you that Jones won his debut fight in the UFC against Gusmao by unanimous decision.
