Jon Jones shows off his jacked body ahead of his scheduled light heavyweight title-defence.
Regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all-time, Jones has been undefeated since returning to action in December 2018, following a two-year hiatus.
After reclaiming the 205-pound title by defeating Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch, he successfully retained the throne with a pair of decision wins against Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos respectively.
Next month, he will go for his third-straight title-retention bid as he faces Dominick Reyes in the headliner of UFC 247, which will take place at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Of course, Jones is a heavy favourite to win the match, with some fans saying there is no more challenge left for the MMA GOAT in the light heavyweight class.
Jones has declared victory against ‘The Devastator’ while flaunting his jacked physique on social media.

The defending champion, who looks focused and motivated than ever, wants his challenger to train harder as Jones is out to serve him some humble pie.
“Dominic watching your interviews, it’s obvious you think you’re better than me,” Jones wrote on Twitter.
“You never struggled with substance abuse, you have your big degrees, was always team captain at everything.”
“We get it.”
“I’ve been looked over and counted out by guys like you for as long as I can remember,” he continued.
“Year after year I prove guys like you aren’t shit. You’re in my world now.”
“With that being said I hope you’re training for me harder than you trained for your NFL tryouts.”
“You’re in a whole new league now #StudAthlete < #GodGivenTalent.”
Reyes remains undefeated since his promotional debut in 2017, completing a six-fight winning streak, and is coming off a first-round knockout of Chris Weidman.
He also holds notable wins against Jared Cannonier, Ovince Saint Preux, and Volkan Oexdemir.
