Jon Jones featured in Yahoo! Sport’s Elite Athlete Workout series

August 19, 2011 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones is featured in Yahoo! Sport’s Elite Athlete Workout series. You might recall that Rashad Evans was a featured athlete a couple weeks ago.

The web series also included the workouts of Maurice Jones-Drew, Larry Fitzgerald and Apolo Anton Ohno.

Similar to the Evans feature, Summer Sanders follows Jones through a daily workout, a meditation session and speaks with him about his diet. Ironic (or maybe not) that these two were the first mixed martial artists picked to do this series.

The Diet

Payout Perspective:

This web series is an interesting look into what elite athletes do to become elite. Many people wonder what athletes do when they workout and what they eat to stay in top shape and this series helps sheds some light. With the UFC now on Fox, Jones will be a featured fighter and this series is a good way to introduce him to the mainstream. Jones seems at ease in front of the camera and this workout series is another great example.
