Jon Jones stepped away from the Octagon for more than three years. In his return bout, it took him just two minutes to reestablish his dominance.
Jones obliterated Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 285 on Saturday, winning by submission in his first bout since February 2020. With the victory, Jones (27–1, 1 NC) brings clarity to the top of the heavyweight division, seizing the previously vacant title.
“I’m a lot more comfortable in this space now,” says Jones. “I’ve really been enjoying this journey.”
