UFC fighters Jon Jones and Rose Namajunas rolling during a training session at Jackson Wink, in New Mexico.

Both fighters are great grapplers.

Namajunas started practicing Taekwondo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the age of 5. She earned her poom belt (junior black belt) at age 9. After that, she went on doing both karate and jiu-jitsu at age of 16. In high school, she started training kickboxing and mixed martial arts with Duke Roufus at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and she was also a senior-year wrestler at Milwaukee High School of the Arts. She is currently a purple belt in BJJ with all 4 of her MMA wins coming by way of submission.

Before beginning his MMA career, Jon Jones was a stand-out high school wrestler and state champion at Union-Endicott High School in upstate New York. He also played football as a defensive lineman, but due to his slight frame, his coach nicknamed him ‘Bones’. He won a national JUCO championship at Iowa Central Community College. After transferring to Morrisville State College he decided to drop out of college where he was studying Criminal Justice, to begin his MMA career.
