Jon Jones will make the first defence of his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic - if he beats Ciryl Gane tonight.
Jones will return to the cage tonight for the first time in three years as he makes his debut at heavyweight against his French rival. And should he become a two-weight champion, he will be booked to take on former ruler Miocic this summer.
"He's absolutely the next one, whoever wins on Saturday night will face Stipe next," confirmed UFC president Dana White. And Miocic himself said: "I was told that [I'll fight the winner], so we’ll see. Hopefully, nothing is permanent until it’s written a contract with a signature, but we’ll see."
