There was quite a surprise when it was announced that Jon Jones would be training with Henry Cejudo at Fight Ready in Arizona. The move was an interesting one for the former UFC champion as they do things very differently.

Henry Cejudo recently explained to MMAJunkie Radio how the gym does not operate like a regular gym and they like to build a team. In Jon Jones' case, the former UFC champion is the team.

“We think outside the box, so it’s different for us. We’re not part of a team,” Former UFC champion Cejudo said. “I saw the thing you guys talked about: ‘Where should he go? ATT, he should go to blah blah blah.’ No, not really. What you do with a guy like Jon Jones is you build a team around him. He is the team. He doesn’t need to be pushed. He needs to be tweaked. He’s already been through hell. He’s already been through the turmoil.”

The fit was perfect for Jon Jones as Fight Ready already did things in a very specific way. There's a reason many former UFC champions like to go train in the Arizona-based gym.

“That’s kind of what we do with the athletes here,” Cejudo said. “Once somebody comes here and sees what we have planned, it’s just different because it’s all catered toward their ability. You know what a good coach does fundamentally? A good coach just adjusts you and holds you to your standards, adjusts you fundamentally but understands your gifts. If a coach is teaching the same combination, the same thing to all the other fighters, then it’s all about the coach. And it shouldn’t be like that. It should be about the athletes.”
