“It’s Taken a Year”- Jon Jones Says He Finally Has ‘Rock-Solid’ Six Pack Abs

Although Jon Jones may not be fighting immediately for the heavyweight title, the former light heavyweight champion has been working non-stop to change his body. ‘Bones’ as he is rightfully known was always a very lanky individual when he competed at 205-pounds. And if he were to stay his ground at heavyweight, adding weight to his frame was necessary. 

Since relinquishing his title, Jones has been posting updates regularly on his social media. Jones frequently shares videos and pictures of him training and looking bigger than he has ever looked. Recent reports suggest that Jones has ballooned up all the way to 250 pounds as he prepares to reign over a second division.

‘Bones’ is extremely active on Twitter and often takes time out of his day to respond to fans and any questions they might have for him. In one such interaction, a fan tweeted at Jones saying, “Your frame is bigger then I thought considering you still look really lean at 250 lbs”. While reacting to a video of him sprinting at 20 miles per hour on a treadmill. 

To which Jones replied, “it’s taken a year, it’s been a lot of hard work. But I have to credit all my trainers. We definitely have game this weight the right way. Should have a rock solid six pack this time next month”

Jon Jones has always been extremely lean at 205-pounds and this has allowed him to be extremely athletic compared to his counterparts at light heavyweight. There is a growing concern among fans that the extra weight put on by Jones will hamper his movement and he is more likely to get caught with blows that will deal serious damage. Jones, however, believes otherwise. 

The former champion recently parted ways with his management team First Round Management after 11 years together. Fans will be hoping that whoever he partners up with next is able to broker a deal between him and the UFC for his debut fight in the heavyweight division.
