UFC 285: Jones vs. Gane March 2, 2023 by Marc Jerbs

On Saturday, Jon Jones will face Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 285.

The main card of UFC 285 will start 10:00PM ET at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

Former light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones make his long-awaited return at UFC and competed for the first time in heavyweight division.

The former champion hasn't competed in three years and is now 35 years old.

Rust and stamina will be a factor during the match.

Jon Jones has a championship pedigree in his blood and he's ready to bounce back after his hiatus.

Cyril Gane had the opportunity to become the UFC heavyweight champion in his first try last year.

However, he was on the losing side when he faced Francis Ngannou at UFC 270.

His loss did not deter his quest for a championship belt.

He's coming off a third-round win over Tai Tuivasa and he's confident he can win this time on his 2nd try when he meets Jon Jones at the octagon.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed Jon Jones as the favorite to win over Cyril Gane for the vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285 this Saturday night.
