“At the moment, I’m in a perfect training routine. I don't want to be distracted by anything. I don't need to flatter these big guys. I’m excited to do my job when the time is right,” Jon said.
MMA light heavyweight (up to 93kg) legend, Jones has been preparing for over a year for his long-awaited debut in the under-120,2kg group. Still without a date for his debut, Jon has not acted professionally since February 2020.
In his last commitment for the company, 'Bones' defended his old light heavyweight title for the last time, when he overcame Dominick reyes. Months later, the athlete gave up the belt, beginning to adapt his body to play in the group of 'giants'.
This weekend, Francis Ngannou e Cyryl Gane make a historic clash in the up to 120,2kg category. The linear and internal champions share the octagon in a fight to unify the title.
