Saturday marks the highly anticipated return of Jon Jones, one of the greatest fighters to ever compete in mixed martial arts, who is moving up to heavyweight after a three-year layoff to take on Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight championship in the UFC 285 headliner.
Aside from the official title at stake for Jones, so too could be unofficial GOAT status if the former longtime light heavyweight champ becomes a two-division champ. Jones himself has said a victory over Gane will cement his status as the best to ever grace the cage.
Where do we stand? Is Jones already the GOAT? And if he isn’t, would he become the GOAT with a win?
