Gane has challenged for the Heavyweight title previously, and has otherwise burned through the heaviest division in the UFC with a striking style that isn't that dissimilar to Jon Jones.

After failing multiple drug tests throughout his career which resulted in two bans, facing various criminal charges, and being out of action for three years, Jones is still returning to the promotion while being praised as the GOAT.Īlthough the youngest champion in UFC history was tipped to face former heavyweight champ, Francis Ngannou, it was announced that top contender Ciryl Gane would have the honor of welcoming Jones back to the Octagon. The former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones arrives back under an elephant-in-the-room dark cloud, however. Elsewhere on the card, Valentina Shevchenko looks to defend her flyweight title against none other than Alexa Grasso, which is sure to be an incredible co-main event. This time, Bones Jones will compete in the heavyweight division, and will look to add new prowess to his already historic light-heavyweight MMA record. Taking place in Las Vegas, this fight will see the long-awaited, and much anticipated return of Jon Jones. UFC 285 is set to be an explosive event, with Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane duke it out to earn the title of UFC Heavyweight Champion and 'baddest' man on the planet.
