“Knows his way around the grill” – Fans in disbelief as Jon Jones look unrecognizable in recent interview since ‘disappearance’ after iconic heavyweight win

UFC heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound number one fighter, Jon Jones has fans in disbelief. After a very long time, Jon Jones made a public appearance during his recent interview. While he talked about wanting to box Tyson Fury, fans were surprised by Jon’s appearance.

Jon Jones made his heavyweight fight against Ciryl Gane look like a walk in the park. He managed to score a first-round submission and become the heavyweight champion during his first bout in the division itself. After the successful reclamation of the title, Jones was in talks to fight Stipe Miocic during international fight week. However, with very less follow-up and radio silence from the champ, the bout supposed to headline UFC 290 was scrapped.

UFC President Dana White himself revealed that he wasn’t able to reach Jon. Yet, after a couple of months, the G.O.A.T. started to appear in the headlines. With Tyson Fury calling out Jon Jones for a fight, the UFC G.O.A.T. resurfaced again. Jones started calling out Tyson Fury and fans started taking interest in a possible matchup between the two heavyweights. The situation escalated so much that even Dana White was ready to meet Fury’s demands for a super fight.

Amidst the talks of a super fight, Jon Jones recently appeared in an interview, where he stated his desire to fight Tyson Fury. However, what caught fans’ attention was the change in Jon’s appearance since his last fight. Fans took to Twitter and posted their reaction to the heavyweight champion’s recent look.

UFC’s greatest of all time, Jon Jones is very much looking forward to a potential super fight between him and Tyson Fury. The whole beef started when Joe Rogan chose Jones to defeat Tyson Fury in a hypothetical bout. With The Gypsy King hurt by Rogan’s comment, he lashed out at Joe Rogan and called out Jon Jones. With the situation escalating so far, UFC President Dana White was also interested in making the super fight.

During a recent interview, Jones too addressed the same topic. However, instead of his statements, fans were in disbelief at the G.O.A.T’s change in appearance. From the looks of it, Jon Jones has made himself comfortable at heavyweight, as he appears to be huge. Fans took to Twitter and post their reactions to the heavyweight Jon Jones.

A lot of fans agree that the heavyweight champion is looking very big. Some even speculate he might have to cut down to make the heavyweight limit. Whereas others pointed out that Jon Jones is starting to look like certain popular personalities. “Jones out here giving his best Chisora look,“ said one fan, referring to fighter Derek Chisora. “Jon turning into Rick Ross?” said another fan. Given Tyson Fury’s reluctance to fight Jon, a super fight between the two is highly unlikely. Meanwhile, a fight between Jon Jones and knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich is in talks.
