Looks like Jon Jones is not satisfied by just ruling over a whole division for nearly a decade. That’s why he vacated the title and started bulking up to face fighters from probably the most dangerous division in combat sports- heavyweight division. And this new video shows Bones back in his old groove which dominated MMA’s biggest names for nearly a decade.
In this video, which the 33-year old himself uploaded on his Instagram, he is seen to be doing pad work. His serious muscle gain is clearly showing in his bulked up frame. The caption reads: “Felt great shaking off some cobwebs last night.”

With his status as a GOAT of the sport, he was slated to directly fight for the heavyweight strap.
This has also been approved and subsequently confirmed by Dana White as well. He will most probably face the winner of the championship bout between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou scheduled to headline UFC 260. So, who knows we might be talking about another double champion!
