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. Here he beat Dominick Reyes in what is now considered to be a polarizing decision. ‘Bones’ repeatedly says he has moved on and declared his intentions to face Jan Blachowicz next. However, as per UFC President Dana White, the company is seriously considering a rematch.

In addition to this, fans could read in “heavy weights” as an indication that he still intends to move up a division.
Perhaps he is just working out as he likes to stay in shape after so many years of fighting. Nevertheless, MMA fans will be enthused as they know ‘Bones’ doesn’t intend on being a keyboard warrior for the next few months. He wants to fight and enhance his already monumental legacy in the UFC.
