This is the UFC 285 live blog for Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane, the vacant heavyweight title fight on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Jon Jones has returned — this time, he is trying to make it at heavyweight. Widely considered the greatest light heavyweight of all-time and in the conversation for greatest fighter ever, Jones has spent the last three years away from the cage, after vacating his light heavyweight title in 2020. What will the all-time great look like after such an extended layoff and in a new weight class? Nobody can predict. Fortunately, we’re about to find out.
Gane, meanwhile, was not the first choice, or even the second, for Jones’ return opponent. The UFC originally wanted to organize the much-anticipated superfight with Francis Ngannou. However, after Stipe miocic, their heavyweight champion, was not available, Gane was called. Now Gane hopes to take this second chance to claim a full UFC title, and to hand Jon Jones his first non-controversial loss.
