Aljamain Sterling on Partying with Jon Jones [Video]

Aljamain Sterling and Jon Jones have known each other since their college days. They attended the same school before Sterling transferred. A while later, Sterling became inspired by Jones’ posts on social media, where Jones showcased his MMA training. This led Sterling to make the decision to start training alongside Jones. Their journey took them from college students to training partners and, eventually, to competitors in the same MMA organization. Sterling shared this fascinating story on Demetrious Johnson’s podcast.

– “We went to college together. When he was in the UFC, I hit him up on MySpace, and that’s when I found out he was training super close to my school. I reached out to him. He told me to come by the gym, and I did the next day. Since then, I’ve never stopped training,” Sterling recalled.
