Former UFC Light heavyweight and current heavyweight champion Jon Jones can be considered the goat, but that does not mean that 'bones' is unbreakable.
One of the most underrated attributes of Jon Jones is undoubtedly his Granite Kin, who has never been down and hardly even his illustrious UFC career faltered.
According to former champion Carlos Condit, however, there was one hunter who not only rocked Jones in Sparren, but the consensus goat dropped with a rotating kick.

Carlos Condit remembers that Jon Jones fell 'fell' by an unknown UFC hunter
Carlos 'The Natural Born Killer' Condit joined the UFC schedule in 2009 and competed at all until 2021 and claimed the Interim -Welterweight title en route against Nick Diaz.
During his career, the condition was able to train in addition to a whole series of UFC -Superstars and active champions, including both Jon Jones and iconic rival Rashad Evans.
“Oh yes, we trained together; I trained a bit with Rashad, [but] I trained quite a bit with Jon, “explained the Condit on the Jaxxon podcast.
'Jon is a great training partner, yes [I sparred him]When Jon was a lot thinner before he started to do more weight and find his strength, I sparkled Jon a lot … But when he started to sit on his punches and found his strength, I stopped all of that. “
Given his own intense rivalry with Jones, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson was curious if Condit had ever seen someone who had the 'Bones' in training – and what he said, then shocked the former light heavyweight champion with heavyweight.
“I have, yes. Well, the same guy f—– I am also the round just before … One morning, I think it was like a Tuesday morning like 9 hours of sparing, you know we are tipping and tapping and we get this guy – I do That doesn't know if you have ever heard of Adlan Amagov.
“Tsjetsjense guy, he fought a few times in the UFC and the last time man, they wore his opponent on his stretcher, but yes – he finished a number of boys [in training]. “
According to Condit, Adlan Amagov would not only 'drop him' in training, but then only Jon Jones with a rotating kick later the same session.
“He was a rotating kick -man and he f – I am up and then I think a round or two later jon struck that rotating kick and he dropped him.”
“No [he didn’t get kicked out]He stayed around, “laughed condition.
Amagov fought twice under the UFC banner; A unanimous decision victory over Chris Spang, and a first round knockout from TJ Waldburger in 2013 he then left the promotion, with his last MMA fight that took place in 2016.
Jones vs Aspinall speculation will take place after the recent admission of Dana White
Sparring in the training room is clearly very different from fighting under the bright lights of the UFC Octagon, although the British heavyweight Juggernaut Tom Aspinall Amagov will gladly emulate – if he ever gets the chance.
“There is no situation, it is the biggest fight we can make,” said UFC CEO Dana White via the Mac life on the super fight.
“I know that the fans like to mess with Jon or whatever, Jon Jones is not afraid of someone and Jon Jones will fight against someone. It is just a matter of getting the fight now, that is our job. “
Although it has been set to death that the unification will take place, White acknowledged that stripping Jones of the heavyweight title is a possibility if the Aspinall fight is not signed quickly.
“100 percent – if we don't do the fight, we will continue and we fight another fight. But the night before I was in my room with my people until 6 o'clock in the morning, we are now working on many things. There are a lot of really good S – now underway. “
In a subsequent interview about Piers Morgan Uncensored, White would be 'life -changing' victory for the popular British heavyweight.
“The problem in this industry is that you have boys who say many things in public, but behind the curtains, don't mean it, you know, don't really want these fights. Tom Aspinall is not that guy. Tom Aspinall wants to fight the very best in the world, and I love that. “
“With the Jon Jones fight, such a fight for a young, talented heavyweight, if he can win, if he can beat Jon Jones, it is life-changing.”
