Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones returns Saturday after more than three years off to make his long-awaited, highly anticipated heavyweight debut.
Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) has been through a lot in his career and his longest layoff to date, but he’ll have the chance to further enhance his legacy when he meets Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight championship in the pay-per-view headliner from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Prelims air on ESPNews following early prelims on ESPN+.
That footnote in history is something Jones has been pursuing for quite some time, but he’ll have to get through Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) to make it happen. Is he capable? Jones’ record below shows the depth of his accomplishments so far ahead of his comeback fight.
