Craig Jones is training Tom Aspinall for grappling.

Gordon Ryan is training Jon Jones for grappling.

These 2 hate each other and have an intense beef in Jiu Jitsu.

Gordon Ryan has more grappling accomplishments but Craig Jones has been more successful as a personality, team leader, and businessman.

With regards to coaching too, Craig Jones seems to have succeeded more with what he's been able to bring into MMA.
 
I thought Buchecha will saw off his right leg and fight Viera at 205. That was a rivalry.
 
On Saturday I watched Craig Jones' "Gone Walkabout" documentary about a BJJ gym in Indonesia. Maybe the best documentary editing and production I've ever seen on youtube or TV and truly moving and mind-opening content. Starts out as a troll doc but gets serious.

Jon was training with Gable Stevenson and Gordon Ryan at the same time.
 
I heard Usain Bolt had trained with Jon extensively for his most recent fighting style.

Whatever. Two juice heads training together doesn’t mean much if we’ll never see Jon fight anyone who matters.

I think its one sided. Gordon is very upset at Craig and harshly criticized him..Craig is nothing but complimentary and wants to branch out into other ventures besides running a gym.
 
Aspinall will have retired and turned all these bums into coaches without fighting them by 2026
