Jon Jones Returns to Training After Pectoral Injury

Jon Jones, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, has made his highly anticipated return to training after suffering a pectoral injury that forced him to withdraw from a heavyweight title fight against Stipe Miocic last year. In a post shared on social media, Jones expressed his excitement, writing, ‘First day back in the gym since my injury, felt amazing. And so it began.’

Jones, who has struggled with inactivity in recent years, has been eager to get back into the octagon. Since 2020, he has only competed in two fights, defeating Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 and claiming the vacant heavyweight title with a dominant submission victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285.

Various legal issues and a previous contract dispute with the UFC have played a role in Jones’s absence from competition. Despite these challenges, the 36-year-old remains undefeated in MMA, with his only blemishes being a disqualification loss to Matt Hamill in 2009 and a no-contest against Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. Jones initially defeated Cormier by third-round knockout, but the result was overturned after he tested positive for banned substances.

Jones’s return to training is a significant development for the UFC and MMA fans alike. With his exceptional skills and unwavering determination, he is expected to make a strong comeback and continue his legacy as one of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history.
