Following in the footsteps of the GOAT. 🏆🐐 “Jon jones, he’s my main partner, also my main coach . So every single technique he has, I have.” @Kalshi has Gable at a 91% chance to win 👀 drop your thoughts below 👇🏽 #ufc331 #ufc #kalshipartner #gablesteveson
A fighter preparing for UFC 331 has revealed that Jon Jones serves as both his primary training partner and main coach, and that he has worked to absorb every technique in Jones' arsenal ahead of the event.
The unnamed fighter's comments drew immediate attention given the source of his mentorship. Jones, known as "Bones," is widely regarded as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. The 39-year-old orthodox fighter carries a professional record of 28-1-0 and brings a physically imposing frame to every camp he contributes to, standing six-foot-four with an 84-inch reach. His technical influence is well documented: Jones lands 4.38 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 58 percent, while also averaging 1.89 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him one of the most complete stylists the sport has ever produced.
The fighter's own verified data was not available in the current database, but his own record and ranking were not detailed in the available information, so the full divisional picture heading into UFC 331 remains incomplete from that angle.
Why it matters
- Training directly under Jones means the fighter has access to one of the broadest technical skill sets in UFC history, covering striking, wrestling, and submission grappling
- If the stylistic imprint takes hold in competition, opponents will need to prepare for a multi-dimensional threat rather than a single-dimensional game plan
- The comments signal a close, ongoing partnership with Jones rather than a casual training camp visit, which could have longer-term implications for how this fighter develops
