One of the best UFC fighters, Israel Adesanya, shared his opinion on the upcoming fight between Jon Jones and Cyril Gan, which will determine the new UFC heavyweight champion.
“This is a fight that cannot be missed, I will definitely watch it, and given the activity of the fighters, and who Cyril Gan is, I would bet on him, but I won’t be too surprised if Jones wins,” said the former UFC champion middleweight in another video posted on his YouTube channel.
“Jones was out for three years while Gan was active and he’s a new breed of heavyweights. He is light on his feet, very versatile in striking, and good at grappling. Yes, Gan can fight. People forget about it because Francis moved it down, but I think there was an element of surprise here. Francis is very strong, and as it turned out, he knows how to fight – Gun did not expect this and thought that he would have to cut in the rack, because Francis is known for just that.
“Wrestling Jones, his superpower, right? And distance control. But three years is serious. Coming back after such a break is a difficult task for any fighter. There are very few people who can come back after such a long absence and still look great, and of course, John can be one of them, because he is special. But if we are talking about special fighters, it is worth bearing in mind that Cyril is also one of those guys.
Jon Jones takes on Cyril Gun for the vacant UFC heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 285 on March 4 in Las Vegas.
