UFC legend Jon Jones has teased MMA fans by sharing photos of his massive physique ahead of his long-awaited move to heavyweight.

The 33-year-old American star hasn't competed inside the octagon since his victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February 2020.

However, Jones relinquished the UFC light heavyweight title last August ahead of his highly anticipated arrival in the heavyweight division.

The two-time light heavyweight champ has been undergoing a body transformation and even teased fans in the past of his preparation for heavyweight.

And Jones took to Twitter on Wednesday to showcase his incredible physique at 250lbs.

'Bones' tweeted to his 2.4m followers: "250lbs moving like a Jones."

Jones has already set his sights on challenging current heavyweight kingpin Stipe Miocic in a mega-fight.

And MMA star Francis Ngannou has also welcomed the idea of stepping into the octagon with the UFC legend as the pair have shown there is no love lost between them.

Jones is unsure of when he will return to the octagon, but he has admitted that for the "first time in my career" that he is ready for the heavyweight division.

The future UFC Hall of Famer explained: "I feel ready to take on any challenge, this is the first time in my career that I can say that.

"I finally have the size to be ready for anyone. No, I'm not worried about cardio, I hold myself to a very high standard -- a light heavyweight standard.

"Some of these guys may be stronger, but they can't possibly push as hard as I can.

"I've been able to outwork literally every [light heavyweight], I'll do the same at heavy. It's called heart."
