Jon Jones has shared some pictures of him looking absolutely jacked as a heavyweight — this and much more on Thursday's social media roundup.
Jon Jones looking jacked at heavyweight
Ahead of his heavyweight debut which is likely to come in 2021, former UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones has shared some pictures of what he is currently looking like as a comfortable heavyweight.
Jones has always been a big light heavyweight but he also had a very skinny physique. In the photos which Jones has recently shared, he is looking a lot stronger which is probably down to him not having to worry about an upcoming weight cut down to 205 pounds.
Jones' next fight in the UFC will be at heavyweight as he vacated the light heavyweight title and moved to heavyweight for wanting some new competition and to fight other fighters who actually scare him. Names around who Jones' first heavyweight opponent will be haven't been announced yet but it will likely be either Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou.
