The former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones now returned to the UFC as a heavyweight fighter, and he accidentally divulged that his sex life is far superior now to what it was when he was a light heavyweight.
Jon Jones made his heavyweight debut against Cyril Gane in the main event of UFC 285 on Saturday night, March 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to win the heavyweight title as it was vacant since January when Francis Ngannou left the promotion.
Jon Jones became the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion in 2011.
He became the UFC Heavyweight Champion in 2023.

The MMA fighter currently weighs almost fifty pounds more than he did when he last competed in the octagon. The 250lbs American fighter now looks bigger and stronger than ever.
Bones shared some insights regarding his experience of being a heavyweight while he appeared for an interview with featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski in the MMA HOUR.
The 35-year-old expressed he used to hate weightlifting but now things have changed and if he does not get a workout he feels miserable. With the new weight division, Jones found his new love for fitness.
“I love being 250lbs. I feel incredibly strong. Now that I’m eating more food I sleep better. I feel like I think more clear.”
Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones' dream fight is the most anticipated Heavyweight fight in the UFC.
Francis turned down an $8 million offer to stay with the UFC and fight him because they couldn't agree on contract terms.

The New Yorker also made a joke about enjoying a better performance during sex saying, “sexual performance is better without the pills.” This could be true but Jones has a reputation for being funny with comments and gestures.
However, consuming around five thousand calories a day including scoff eggs, steak, dice, fish, chicken, and plenty of protein shakes could just be true.
“It became tedious. I had to almost blend food sometimes to just swallow it down. It was not fun but I eventually adapted to the lifestyle and I started to live that true fitness lifestyle, just being committed.”
The super-energetic new heavyweight has already set himself a future objective by challenging former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic to the next fight following his victory over Cyril Gane.
