Henry Cejudo discusses Jon Jones' preparedness for comback fight at UFC 285
Henry Cejudo has been mentoring Jon Jones in preparation for his upcoming heavyweight debut. In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Cejudo praised Jones' dedication to self-improvement and claimed that it has made the already formidable fighter even more terrifying.
Sharing his thoughts on Jones' preparedness for the upcoming battle, Cejudo said:
"Just reflecting on the last few days that I had with Jones... You can teach him one thing, he comes back the next day and... he almost becomes flawless, you know. It's crazy to see the potential of how great and how good Jones could still become. You know, he's a man who... has the god-given ability. And when you teach a guy who has ability, technique like himself and is willing to learn. I mean that's what equals a straight GOAT status... As good as Jon Jones is, he's still getting better, and that's just scary."
