Jon Jones explains why Ciryl Gane beating Josh Hokit at UFC 334 would also benefit his legacy
Jones praised Hokit’s recent UFC performances and coaching staff, but admitted a win over Gane would boost his own image. “Bones” submitted “Bon Gamin” to win the heavyweight title in 2023.
“Josh looks good right now,” Jones told The Schmo. “He’s doing a great job; he’s obviously being coached by the best in the world. I’ve always supported wrestlers and supported wrestlers. So I believe Hockey can very well be beaten, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say it doesn’t make our brand great when Ciryl Gane beats people.”
Hockey is trained at
Jackson-Wink MMAwhere Jones trained for much of his career.
