Even though we are experiencing a 'Cold War' with the UFC, Jon Jones continues to prepare for the organization's long-awaited heavyweight debut (up to 120,2kg). After showing videos of lifting weights and sparring, it was the legend's turn to show off his speed. Weighing more than 113kg, the North American released images reaching 32km/h on an electric treadmill.

“Weighing 113,3kg, running at 32,1km/h”, wrote the fighter.
The publication of 'Bones' can be understood as a response to critics, who question the possibility of a significant loss of speed on the part of the former light heavyweight champion. Absolute leader of the group up to 93kg. for about 10 years, agility has often been one of Jones' trademarks.
Although he has shown a high degree of commitment, there is still no confirmation on when Jon will be seen in action in the new division. The athlete, who was confirmed as the opponent of the winner of the clash between Stipe Miocic e Francis Ngannou No. UFC 260, for the heavyweight title, ended up – at first – being passed over for the high price required for the superfight.
Considered by many to be the best MMA representative of all time, Jones has not performed since February 2020. On that occasion, the American surpassed Dominick reyes in what marked his last title defense in the old category; months later, the athlete abandoned the title and began the process of gaining muscle mass to move to heavyweight.
