Roy Jones Jr., the legendary boxer, is ready to assist Ilia Topuria as he transitions to the lightweight division for his fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC 317. Topuria, a former featherweight champion, seeks to refine his striking technique. Jones Jr. claims his expertise could significantly enhance Topuria’s skillset, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a solid stance while striking in MMA. He delineates his broad understanding of combat sports mechanics, suggesting that his insights can universally benefit fighters across different fighting disciplines.
I would make a lot of difference [to Ilia Topuria's camp for Charles Oliveira] because I teach how to get the most out of the striking, how to stay set while you're doing it.
Because in MMA you gotta always be set because guys can take your legs out, but the way I fight you always stay set, so I think what I teach would be advantageous to anybody who chose to indulge in it and get what I really teach.
