Jon Jones hasn’t stepped foot inside the UFC cage since February 2020 when he defended his strap against Dominick Reyes. Since then, there have been several major changes that have taken place. Chiefly, Jon Jones officially relinquished his 205-pound title and moved up to the heavyweight division.

Not to mention, the MMA GOAT, in some fans’ eyes, appears to be systematically putting on muscles in his heavyweight move. Jones was never a small light heavyweight by any means, standing at 6”4’. Additionally, he’s got a massive 84.5 inch reach, along with 7”0’ heavyweight fighter Stefan Struve. Fans will also be pleased to see that Jones is extensively working on cardio whilst transitioning.
