Jackson: Johnson is going to be a real challenge for Jones
Greg Jackson: “His punch, good Lord, that thing hits hard. He is going to be a real challenge. That’s a loaded gun that can go off at any time.”
Some fans and media consider Anthony Johnson the biggest threat to Jon Jones’ title since he became champion. Whether or not that is true, coach Greg Jackson knows that the hard hitting fighter is definitely a big challenge for his fighter:
“We’ve cornered against Johnson before, and he is such an impressive dude,” Jackson said. “His punch, good Lord, that thing hits hard. He is going to be a real challenge. That’s a loaded gun that can go off at any time.
“I’m good with whoever they put in front of Jon. I don’t have any preferences. I’m not like, ‘Oh, I wish you could fight so-and-so, because it hardly ever works out that way. Whoever they put in front of me, that’s who I have to solve.”
