LAS VEGAS - Jon Jones and Donald Cerrone have been training partners at Jackson-Winklejohn MMA in Albuquerque New Mexico for almost five years. Both have had their share of individual triumphs and failures inside and outside of the Octagon over the years, but they are currently on opposite ends of the MMA spectrum.
Cerrone is on a seven-fight win streak heading into his fight this Saturday at UFC 187 against John Makdessi. If Cerrone is successful, a lightweight title shot is all but assured. "Cowboy" is riding an unprecedented run of in-ring activity and fans have understandably come along for the ride.
