No, but his father did. When he received the phone call about his father passing, it was shown while he was on TUF Live.

You got a link to that?

Jones utilizes his hands out approach as a substitute for a jab. Now that he can't extend his hands out guys will be trying to pressure him and get inside. I really hope he starts working in jabs mixed with his oblique kicks to fend off pressure fighters aka Cormier.

Or at the very least a solid fluid basic 1-2 followed up with and or elbow/leg kick combo.

He sonned Michael Johnson after Johnson said he was gonna try to take Justin Gaethje's life, "Michael Johnson talking about he's gonna kill somebody, he's got 30 fights, lost half of em, and ain't killed a motherfukker yet".

Johnson said WHAT about my boy Gaethje?

Vitor Belfort joins Montreal's Tristar Gym ahead of final octagon bout at UFC 212
Ahead of the contest with Marquardt, though, “The Phenom” shifted his training north to Tristar Gym in Montreal, which houses the likes of former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, Rory MacDonald, Joseph Duffy, Joanne Calderwood, and many others.

A representative from Belfort’s team confirmed to MMAjunkie that he will spend the remainder of his training camp in Montreal after pictures of the Brazilian in the gym surfaced online.

jon jones needs a boxing coach

Weidman vs Kelvin? UFC wants Weidman to be on a 4 fight losing streak. Weidman isn't technical with his striking.

Chisea is a gritty dude. Lee cool he's been working with Floyd so if his stand up is getting sharp that might prove to help him test Chisea chin. I think Chisea has more tools though.

Johnson vs Gaethje is a good match up. Gaethje should get the edge and Johnson is pretty much gate keeper status now.

Jj needs a boxing coach

Can't speak for him but personally I think with his gifts size and length wise he could be a much better striker than he is, doesn't really matter tho because he will still dominate that division with his current skill level. I just wonder what he would look like if he had been with a team like ATT most of his career instead of JW.

Imo, Kelvin will struggle a bit with Weidman's grappling at first but after Weidman gasses out he will outbox him like he did to Kennedy.

Lee's not really a great striker but Chiesa is really bad there. He's gritty though and is just and absolute beast when he's on the back. Lee does have hard kicks though and Chiesa has shown a weak body before. That could be the finish. Both strong grapplers but I give Chiesa the advantage

There's no rules stopping him from extending his hands

He can extend his hands. He can't have his fingers out. That's why he extends his hands
