An NBA star claimed he would only need one year of training to beat UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
. I would need a year [to go up against Jones]. My standup game is great but what we all know about Jones is he's a collegiate wrestler - really good on the ground and that's not my forte.“I'd definitely need a year to work on counters and defences against it so that we can stay on our feet.”However, Johnson insisted should he keep Jones from going to the ground he could he could come away victorious.
Johnson said:"I think I could beat him, for real. But like I said with a year of training defence --- I just need ground defence.“Like, I've been punching and kicking since I was five, six years old. [It's] the opposite for him because he's been wrestling for that long. Learning all his wrestling moves - as long as I can keep him from going on the floor, I win.
