Jon Jones has shown his support for Conor McGregor ahead of the pair of UFC legends fighting returns this year.
Jones, 35, returns to the octagon on Saturday as he faces Gane for the undisputed heavyweight title at UFC 285 in Las Vegas. The consensus greatest MMA fighter of all-time hasn't fought since defending his light-heavyweight title for the final time against Dominick Reyes in February 2020, spending the last three years bulking up ahead of his heavyweight debut.
Former two-weight world champion McGregor is also gearing up for his comeback fight later this year as he will face Michael Chandler after coaching against his rival on the UFC's reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter. 'Notorious' is without a win in over three years and hasn't fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, but Jones thinks McGregor's return will be beneficial for the entire UFC.
