Fighters who work with Greg Jackson frequently comment on Jackson’s ability to formulate the perfect game plan for any opponent. But Jackson says that with one of his pupils, Jon Jones, the challenge is to avoid constrain him with any particular game plan.
“What we want to do with Jon is keep him really creative, but work solid foundation basics at the same time,” Jackson said in an interview with Fight Magazine. “Work his timing, work his rhythm, but also work just jab-cross so he’s got a good balance of both and just let him create. It’s important for an artist like Jon not to be limited by a certain game plan, to a certain thing, but to just let his timing flow and get him in situations where he can show his creativity.”
