Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane meet in the main event of the UFC 285, which will also be a heavyweight title clash. The two titans will decide who takes the belt after Francis Ngannou vacated the same and ended his contract with the UFC.
Before Betting on Jones vs. Gane
Jon Jones didn’t fight in three years and was the last time at one UFC fight night back in 2020 when he defeated Dominick Reyes via unanimous decision. For many, that wasn’t a deserved victory, just as the preceding one, once he got away with a split decision triumph over Thiago Santos.
Jones is huge right now, arguably the heaviest in his career, and that worries all his fans. They don’t know whether he has enough cardio, nor what is like his explosiveness, which was an important aspect in his tremendous career so far.
Gane had the chance to take the title, but he lost to Ngannou in the long-awaited clash between the two former sparing partners. He was defeated on the mat, not having the opportunity to show his Muay Thai excellence.
He recovered afterward, beating Tai Tuivasa and showing that he isn’t only a very powerful guy but that his chin is strong and knows how to deal with pressure and unplanned situations.

Our pick here is Gane. Jones will have some ring rust and be in a strange position with all the muscles and a much bigger rival opposite him. Simply, we don’t think he has what it takes to win following such a long pause.
