Ciryl Gane expects ‘beautiful’ Jon Jones in heavyweight debut at UFC 285

LAS VEGAS – Ciryl Gane has prepared for the best version of Jon Jones anyone has ever seen when they clash for the vacant heavyweight title on Saturday at UFC 285.

Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) will welcome former longtime light heavyweight titleholder Jones (26-1 w. 1 NC MMA, 20-1 UFC) to a new division in the main event at T-Mobile Arena, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+, in one of the most anticipated fights of the year so far.

The fight is highly unpredictable because no one knows what Jones is going to look like after more than three years away from competition. Gane said he has taken all of those questions out of his mind, though, and prepared for a sharper, faster and stronger “Bones” than anyone has ever seen.
