It's been over a year since they've trained together, Jon Jones has grown up by leaps and bounds. Jones is finishing the best in the division and future hall of famers (including the guy who knocked Rashad out), so I don't think some sparring sessions from a year ago are going to be on his mind.
If anything, Shad might get surprised considering his level of competition has been no where near JBJ's. Before K7 goes ham, I do think Shad can make it a good fight, but it won't be because they trained together previously.

No ham going bro. Ive voiced my opinions, and you've voiced yours. The only thing shad can take from old sparring sessions is the knowledge that this kid ain't the greatest, and comfort that he did feel what this kid can do. Confidence can trump technique...a lot of people have been lulled into fighting JBJ's fight. I wanna see JBJ put in tough situations. I believe shad will do it
