Light heavyweight legend, Jon Jones, has been enjoying his time away from the sport. ‘Bones’ as he is known for his lanky frame is not lanky anymore. Recent pictures and videos posted by the man himself show that he has packed in a good amount of muscle mass ahead of his heavyweight bow.

The caption also said that Jones is touching 250 pounds, which is a staggering 45-pounds over the last time he stepped on the scale before UFC 247. 

During his off time in putting on size and preparing for his heavyweight debut, Jones has been following other pursuits. He recently posted pictures and videos of him training alongside Patrick Payne

This will be easier said than done, as the heavyweight division is stacked with incredibly dangerous fighters. It is reported that Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou will fight for the belt in March. 

What remains to be seen is if Jones fights for the heavyweight belt directly or if he takes a tune-up fight before that. If he does take a tuneup fight, it will most likely be against the winner of Derrick lewis and Curtis Blaydes
