Watch Jon Jones completely murk his training partner in this clip, the guy had no idea what kind of a monster he was up against until it was too late.
This is the definition of a sacrificial lamb. Jon is on the ground next to the guy showing some empathy, but Greg Jackson tells him to hop back up to his feet right away to finish the round.
There’s no time for empathy or compassion when you’re a a trained killing machine.
Sparring partners are some of the unsung heroes of MMA, they don’t get any of the spotlight, fortune or fame – but they’re also in the gym every day and the big names fighters couldn’t do it without them.
