"I’ve seen Chuck lift more" - Former UFC champ unimpressed by Jon Jones' latest bench press post

A former UFC light heavyweight champion was not impressed by Jon Jones' Instagram post displaying his weight training. The fighter compared Jones' training to UFC legend Chuck Liddell's sessions and mentioned that he had watched 'The Iceman' surpass Jones in this regard.

Jones is currently grinding hard for his UFC 309 encounter against Stipe Miocic. It is going to be his first appearance inside the octagon since his UFC 295 fight where he bagged the heavyweight gold.

A recent Instagram post from Jones displayed him going for bench presses and bent-over rows with 100-pound dumbbells during one of his sessions.

However, Quinton Jackson belittled Jones' efforts, saying that he had witnessed Liddell lift even more weight during his training sessions:

Jackson and Jones clashed inside the octagon at UFC 135 in 2011 with the UFC light heavyweight gold on the line. 'Bones' submitted 'Rampage' with a rear-naked choke in the fourth round of their fight.

Since then, Jackson has fired several shots at Jones' fighting technique and usage of oblique kicks. The latest comment may be another jibe at his former rival.
