Jon “Bones” Jones is preparing for his highly anticipated matchup with Stipe Miocic at UFC 295. His recent training videos were immensely popular on social media. Jones has looked more visibly ripped than when he fought Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. His recent training video shows the heavyweight champion training with military gear.

In the video, “Bones” did pull-ups wearing military gear. As such, the video made the rounds around the internet with many humorously insinuating that the fighter is training for something bigger than Stipe Miocic. As far as MMA is concerned, Jones is known as one of the most innovative fighters. So, it comes as no surprise to see Jones training unconventionally.

Jones won the heavyweight title which was left vacant by Francis Ngannou against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. He submitted Ciryl Gane in the very first round much to the surprise of many. It needs to be noted that Francis Ngannou defeated Ciryl Gane via a close unanimous decision. However, Ngannou fought with injured knees. Ngannou, who is now signed with the PFL left the UFC unceremoniously after defeating Gane at UFC 270.
