One of the biggest PPV events of the year is nearly upon us. UFC 285 is set to go down on Saturday night in Las Vegas with the long-awaited return of Jon Jones tipping the bill. Jones will make his debut in the heavyweight division when he takes on former title challenger Ciryl Gane in the main event.
Jones is arguably the greatest fighter to ever step inside the Octagon with a resume that's incredibly deep. He beat a who's who of legends in his pair of runs with the light heavyweight title before vacating the belt in February 2020 with hopes of moving up. It took over three years to make that happen as he feuded with UFC management over his pay and prepared his body for the bulk up to heavyweight. In his way in one of the most unique challenges in the division in Gane, who enters off a knockout win over Tai Tuivasa.
