Over 10 years after his most difficult championship battle in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Jon Jones returns to the world's greatest MMA organization.
The American MMA fighter will compete at UFC 285 against French Ciryl Gane (32) from Saturday night until Sunday am Nordic time.
Jones will compete at heavyweight for the first fight in his career, after causing havoc in the lighter weight bracket for several years.
Jones, on the other hand, had a difficult time in September 2013. In what is regarded as one of the finest MMA battles of all time, Swede Alexander Gustafsson pushed the 35-year-old to the edge.
Jones had taken a hammering after the bout, which he won on points. According to UFC star Michael Bisping, who now works as a TV expert for the promotion, Jones' body was so wounded that he probably struggled to go to the toilet.
- After his bout against Alexander Gustafsson, his trainer had to clean his behind. According to Bisping on his own YouTube account, it was a terrific bout that went back and forth.
Bisping, a former middleweight champion and inductee of the UFC Hall of Fame, continues to be amazed:
- Fighters must endure a great deal, even being defeated. He'd taken so many blows that he couldn't clean his a$$. His trainer deserves praise, since no matter how much I was paid, I could never clean another man's ass!
Jones became the UFC's youngest champion at the age of 23.
He has defeated luminaries such as Stephan Bonar, Mauricio Rua, Quinton Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, and Daniel Cormier over his career.
Jones was apparently so certain in his victory that he did not practice prior to his fight with Gustafsson. He will not make the same error against Gane on Sunday night.
Jones made a tiny jab in the direction of Gane at the same moment.
- He is a poor wrestler. Instead, he leans toward fleeing. He concentrates on takedown defense rather than jiu-jitsu. He can punch, but he's not a decent kickboxer on defense. Jones stated at a news conference on Friday night that he had two significant deficiencies: jiu-jitsu and wrestling.
Gane then responded:
- Everyone knows Jones is a great wrestler, and I'm ready for him. I've put in a lot of work and am prepared for him. Jones is often regarded as the greatest of all time. "I admire him and his profession," Gane stated.
