Video: Jon Jones trains with Claressa Shields, excited for her future in MMA

Jon Jones has high hopes for Claressa Shields in MMA, as the undefeated women’s middleweight boxing champion recently joined Jackson Wink MMA Academy ahead of her Professional Fighters League (PFL) debut next year.

Jones, who trains at Jackson Wink alongside the likes of Holly Holm and Carlos Condit, recently got the opportunity to teach Shields some of the basics — and he’s seriously impressed by what he saw.

‘Bones’ uploaded the footage to Instagram with the following caption.

The former three-time UFC light heavyweight champion followed up by posting a couple of photos of their workout together.
