Jon Jones’ formula for being unbeatable, in GRACIEMAG

With eleven wins in MMA and just one loss by disqualification (illegal elbows), Jon Jones is the new boogeyman on the UFC light heavyweight scene. At just twenty-three years of age, the fighter looks set for a future filled with glorious victories, a seemingly common fate in his family. Jones is the brother of Arthur Jones, a college football star in the USA currently playing in the NFL.

Jon Jones is the cover fighter in this month’s issue of CHOKE magazine, now a supplement in GRACIEMAG and on news stands and in bookstores around the world. Check out a snippet from the conversation the rising star had with CHOKE editor Rafael Werneck and our correspondent Nalty Jr.

You were studying for a degree in Criminal Justice. Why did you drop that for a career in MMA?

I was on the wrestling team in college and there was a Jiu-Jitsu academy there. I had a daughter, and that changed my life. I contemplated how I could use my physical attributes to make money, so I dropped my studies and started training for real.

You’ve fought seven times in just four months before…

I come from a wrestling background, where we compete the whole time. I was all about winning, that’s what I was born to do. In the UFC we only get to fight three times a years, but I’d fight every month if I could.

You said you were working on improving in Jiu-Jitsu. Is the combination of Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling a hard formula to beat?

Yes, they’re the two most effective self-defense styles and the best way to teach people how to defend themselves. Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling are the most important styles.
