Based on ‘Bones’ expression, fans can realize that he has switched the weights on the barbell. The grimace on his face is visible as he begins the set. He takes a few steps backward to steady himself. ‘Bones’ proceeds to do a set of 5 crouches with the barbell before setting it to rest and walking to the side. 

The top-ranked pound-for-pound fighter last competed at UFC 247 in February.
