UFC legend Jon Jones has laid out his two-fight plan as he prepares to return to the octagon in March for a world heavyweight title effort against Ciryl Gane.
The legendary former light-heavyweight champion has been out of action since his last title defence against Dominick Reyes almost three years ago. And he has spent that time away from the cage getting himself in fighting shape for a run at heavyweight gold, which will now come against Gane, and not the reigning champion Francis Ngannou who has left the promotion.
Jones, however, is hopeful that the Gane fight will be the start of a new run in the UFC after lengthy spells in the sidelines as a result of his activities around the cage. He is known as one of the all-time greats inside the octagon, but has had a number of high-profile scandals including notable failed drug tests in the past.
