Enligt striking tränaren Brian Gibson har Jon Jones (21-1) hjälpt sina lagkamrater med träningen inför deras matcher och nu har Jones hjälp Holly Holm (9-0).
Gibson berättar att Jones har hjälpt Holly Holm att förbereda sig inför matchen mot Ronda Rousey (12-0) på UFC 193.
”He’s been helping Holly Holm a ton,”berättade Gibson för MMA Fighting. ”Jon is a leader and he inspires the team and we just try to do the same for him. We try to inspire him wherever we can. He’s getting stronger ever day.”
Gibson berättar även att Jones hjälpt Andrei Arlovski (24-10-1) inför hans match mot Travis Browne (17-3-1).
”He helped Andrei a lot for the Travis Browne fight,” sa Gibson. ”That was kind of after he got in trouble and he would still go in there.”
Jones har spenderat mycket tid på gymmet med att hjälpa sin lagkamrater berättar Gibson.
”Jon has definitely been around,” berättade Gibson. ”He’s a brother to these guys. He helps the team out. As he matures and gets older, he’s becoming more of a mentor to these guys. I don’t think Jon was necessarily ever like a selfish fighter. He was always giving to his team and working as a training partner.”
”Jon is very creative and [Mike] Winkeljohn has been grooming Holly since she was a teenager,” förklarade Gibson. ”Him and Greg [Jackson] and Coach Izzy [Martinez] have put in a lot of work with Holly. I think Jon just brings a different perspective and a different view, whether it’s technically or the mental aspect of it, to help prepare our sister for this championship fight and to take this title.”
