SATURDAY 8TH
Jones unwinds by watching the UFC fights being broadcast from the O2 Arena in London.

The UFC’s top 205lb’er takes some time away from training to do a photo shoot for the ‘Show Your Soft Side’ campaign which works to combat animal abuse. He later takes a trip to a Whole Foods store. “This place is like heaven on earth for clean eaters,” Jon posts online.
THURSDAY 13TH
Ever the tough competitor, Jones continues to grind through his latest training camp. This evening is wrestling practice with coach Israel Martinez and Jon fuels his body with a meal of kale, grape tomatoes and grilled chicken before hitting the mats. “It’s clear @IzzyStyle has taken his coaching to the next level,” Jones tweets about his MMA wrestling mentor.

Today is Jon’s three-year anniversary of being UFC light heavyweight champion. Bones gets a custom Damage Control mouthguard fitted and later checks his weight after training, coming in at a very lean 216lb with more than a month to go before his UFC 172 bout against Glover Teixeira. “I’m taking my fiancée out and am eating a gigantic dinner,” he tweets.
FRIDAY 21ST
A very excited Jon Jones picks up his Ford Roush Raptor truck from Ultimate Cars & Trucks, which has modified the fighter’s monstrous machine with a four-inch lift, 18-inch rims and 37-inch tires. Then the 19-1 205lb’er takes his pimped-out ride to the gym for another tough session.
