“There’s only one Jon and that’s why he’s the GOAT,” he said during The Schaub Show. “The reason why he’s the GOAT is because of what he did inside the Octagon. He’s not the GOAT as far as outside the Octagon.

“If you’re going to take into consideration of the GOAT talk accomplishments inside the Octagon and outside the Octagon, it’s Mighty Mouse [Johnson]. It’s Mighty Mouse or it’s GSP. Those are guys that would be great mentors.”


Here's the full episode:

 
But Jones has huge fight IQ, he should be a great addition to any fighters team.
Agreed, I think Schaub is wrong. Jones is best of three because of his experience in look-see-do. DJ reasons on a very trivial and basic level while GSP is too detail oriented (Firas always made fun of him trying to itemize his opponents)
 
Who has DJ or GSP trained?

(not trying to shit on them, asking because I don't know)

Goes both ways tbh, don't know exactly how close they were but both Maurice Greene and Bevon Lewis, guys who trained at Jackson's and sparred with Jones, both ended up being terrible fighters.

That being said, a more sensible name to float as a potential Steveson trainer would be DC if anything. Obviously that's never going to be a thing but Cormier actually has a stable of wrestlers that have been doing well in MMA right now.

Why? I think Cormier has always been supportive to American wrestling talents. He's in those circles actively and knows Gable. Gable training with him isn't far fetched as it seems IMO.

But I agree with the first part. Steveson only needs procedural knowledge in terms of how to utilize his insane wrestling base into an unstoppable cage system, and AKA coaching is very good at it.

Jones understands MMA to the greater extent but he won't give you a whole curriculum on how to wrestle. Maybe that's where Greg is, idk...

Purely because of the beef between Jones and DC, I think that if Gable were to change camps he'd probably avoid going to DC.

As long as he doesn't end up with Sayif Saud Steveson should be golden tho.
