Even though I haven't fought in almost a year, Jon Jones once again showed that he is in the best physical shape of his career. The former light heavyweight champion posted a photo on his Instagram account in which he appears “giant”, muscular as he has never seen before in his career in MMA.
The fighter placed two photos side by side, one from 2013 and the other current, both in the so-called “off season”, that is, outside the preparation period for a fight. The difference is visible. Jones explained that he has been lifting weights since June, and that this has led to immense improvements in his conditioning.
Furthermore, the American indicated that he should make his return to fighting on April 23, possibly at UFC 198. “I have five more months to prepare for this victory. I’m sure I’ll be at my best on April 23rd,” he wrote.
On this date, the UFC scheduled an event for Madison Square Garden, a legendary gym located in New York, Jones' hometown. However, for the plans to come to fruition, MMA will first need to be legalized in the North American state. Upon his return, Jones must face Daniel Cormier, who took the light heavyweight belt after the former champion's retirement from fighting.
