Jon Jones returned from a more than three-year layoff at UFC 285 on Saturday and further solidified his greatness in the sport by claiming the vacant heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC), a former longtime light heavyweight titleholder, was successful in his long-awaited move up a division when he earned a first-round submission victory over Gane (11-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the pay-per-view headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
With the win, “Bones” became the eighth fighter in UFC history to win titles in two divisions, and arguably locked up his place as the best in MMA history.
