UFC fans label Jon Jones "out-of-shape" as heavyweight physique revealed

Fans have mocked the new heavyweight physique of Jon Jones ahead of his UFC title fight against Ciryl Gane.

Jones, 35, returns to the octagon at UFC 285 on Saturday as he makes his highly-anticipated heavyweight debut against Gane, with the division's title also being on the line. 'Bones' hasn't fought since defending his light-heavyweight title for the final time against Dominick Reyes in February 2020, spending the last three years bulking up in size.

The consensus greatest MMA fighter of all-time posed for physique pictures on Wednesday after speaking to Mirror Fighting and other reporters at the media day to promote his UFC title fight. Fans were less than impressed with Jones' new look, as one user wrote: "He looked slow and old as a light heavyweight and now, three years later, he's just let himself go a bit."
