Jon 'Bones' Jones is looking to dominate the UFC's heavyweight division in 2023.

The former light-heavyweight champion has not fought in the last three years but is aiming to make his comeback this year in a big way.

The 35-year-old has been hard at work training ahead of his return to the octagon, surprising many with his physique, Sports Brief reported.

Jon Jones returns to UFC

Jon Bones Jones will make his long-awaited return to the UFC in March.

Bones will compete at UFC 285, where he will fight for the vacant heavyweight title, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The title became vacant after the UFC officially released Francis Ngannou and stripped him of the belt.
