Despite comments indicating his unhappiness with the UFC and talks about him taking a hiatus from the sport, Jon Jones remains signed with the company.

In the first video, ‘Bones’ gets his grip on the rod before performing a deadlift for a few seconds. He then lets the barbell drop onto the floor.
In the second video, there are only 3 weights on either side of the rod instead of the four in the first deadlift. The weight seems even more manageable to ‘Bones’ who proceeds to do an entire set of 10 reps. After this the camera zooms into his t-shirt, focusing purely on the word “Man official.”

The Light Heavyweight Champion’s last defense came at UFC 247. Here, he beat Dominick Reyes via unanimous decision in what many consider as a shocker. Dana White said he scored the bout in favor of Reyes and indicated that a rematch is on, given the polarizing nature of the result.
‘Bones’ however, maintains that he is done with ‘The Devastator’ and sheds light on Jan Blachowicz being his next challenger.
Also, murmurs of a move to Heavyweight to fight Francis Ngannou were doing the rounds. However, both fighters took to Twitter to express disappointment at the UFC being unwilling to loosen their purse strings for the match.
