United Fighting Championship icon Jon 'Bones' Jones will make his long-awaited return to the octagon against number one ranked heavyweight Cyril Gane.
It is now three years since Jones last fought, where he defeated Dominick Reyes at UFC 247. It was a hugely controversial decision, where a lot of fans thought Reyes came away the better fighter. One viewer wrote: "If Jon did exactly what Reyes did and Reyes did exactly what Jon did , Jon would have won.".
Gane fought fairly recently, defeating Tai Tuivasa in a UFC classic in Paris during September. Earlier in 2022, Gane faced superstar Francis Ngannou, where he lost after a night of grappling in the octagon. Jones on the other hand hasn't lost a bout since 2009, in one of his earliest UFC fights against Mark Hamill. Since then, he has won 17 fights in a row, if you discount the no contest decision against Daniel Cormier six years ago.
