After three years away from the Octagon, Jon Jones is back, and he made it all look very, very easy as he captured the undisputed heavyweight title at UFC 285 in Las Vegas.
The co-main event of UFC 285 produced a title shock as Alexa Grasso made history as the first Mexican woman to capture a UFC title with a stunning fourth-round submission of the all-conquering champion Valentina Shevchenko.
Both title fights are official following the official UFC 285 weigh-ins in Las Vegas, as Jon Jones weighed in half a pound more than fellow challenger Ciryl Gane for their main event title clash.
Jon Jones says he thinks he has all his bases covered ahead of his return, as a heavyweight, at UFC 285.
Ciryl Gane is expecting to see a well-prepared, ready Jon Jones, but says he has the one thing in his arsenal that Jones doesn’t – experience as a bonafide UFC heavyweight.
It’s been a long time in the making, but Jon Jones’ heavyweight debut is finally upon us, and the biggest prize in the sport is up for grabs at UFC 285.
In a remarkable turn of events, the UFC heavyweight division has rocketed to the top of MMA’s news cycle with two huge pieces of news.
