Jon Jones says Francis Ngannou’s callout and the heavyweight landscape have reignited his desire to fight
Jones said Rogan introduced him to Ways2Well and told him he had experienced improved movement after receiving stem cell treatment there.
“You never know what’s going to happen in life. I just talked to Joe Rogan the other day, and he’s like, ‘I’ve got some friends out at a place called Ways2Well, who gave me some initial stem cells and I have been moving around way better than I used to’,” Jones told Sporf.
Jones said Rogan encouraged him to continue the treatment to see whether he experiences further improvement.
“So, I’m going to get more stem cells and see if that’s true and I regain the mobility in my hips that I once had,” Jones said.
Despite his physical concerns, Jones’ motivation remains strong, particularly after working with Olympic wrestling gold medalist Gable Steveson.
“My heart and spirit are always there when it comes to fighting,” Jones added. “Being around and coaching Gable Steveson and getting called out by Francis Ngannou and seeing how wide open the heavyweight division is, it obviously creates this itch that I feel like I really want to scratch.”
Jones will also continue working with Steveson as he monitors how his body responds to training.
“I’m just going to let time tell me,” Jones said. “I’ll take Joe’s advice and take more stem cells and continue to pour my energy into Gable and continue to be his number one training partner, which will obviously show me a lot about where I am physically.”
