Holm: Jon Jones ‘instrumental’ in camp for Rousey
Holly Holm on training with Jon Jones: “I love to hear his input and he has been very helpful and instrumental in this fight camp.”
UFC women’s bantamweight challenger Holly Holm took part recently in a UFC 193 media conference call, and reported that former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been instrumental in her camp.
“We’ll shadow box a little bit and kind of throw kicks and punches at each other, but obviously he’s not going to be sparring with me like he would the big heavyweights,” said Holm of her Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA teammate, as transcribed by Brad Popkin for MMAMania. “I love to hear his input and he has been very helpful and instrumental in this fight camp. Sometimes he’ll come to my mitt sessions and have some things that work for my fighting style and just ideas that he has.”
Holly Holm fights Ronda Rousey in the main event of UFC 193 on November 15, 2015 at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
