Live from T-Mobile Arena, near Las Vegas, Jon “Bones” Jones makes his long-awaited return at UFC 285: Jones vs Gane. Jones, a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, will be making his debut as a heavyweight against former interim champion Ciryl Gane for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
At 26-1-1, Jones is considered to be one of the best fighters that MMA has ever seen. He hasn’t fought since February of 2020 at UFC 247 but his last 15 fights were title fights. He holds the record for most wins in UFC title fights (14), most title defenses in LHW division (11), most wins in the LHW division (20), and youngest fighter to ever win a UFC title (23). He’ll be facing Gane, who is 11-1 and is looking to become the promotion’s first French undisputed champion.
