He followed that comment with an appearance on the Flagrant Podcast with Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh. On that podcast, Danis commented: “It’s hard to talk to you guys about fighting.

Gordan Ryan is also at the peak of his sport at 28 years old and is regarded as an all-time great no-gi grappler. Ryan has previously teased moving into MMA, but has yet to make any official announcement. Training with Jon Jones also benefits Ryan, as he gets to sharpen his wrestling skills.

Jones further commented on his training camp through another tweet: “Training with a 28-year-old phenom to fight a 41-year-old goat. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. The trenches is where I belong.” Jones referred to Ryan as a phenom, while acknowledging Stipe Miocic as a GOAT.
Jones was last seen in UFC in March, earlier this year when he defeated Ciryl Gane in the first round via submission in UFC 285. He will face Miocic in mid-November at Madison Square Garden, New York.
