After more than three long years, Jon Jones will finally make his return to the octagon on March 4 when he meets Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title in the UFC 285 main event. Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) hasn’t seen action since February 2029, and will finally make his long-awaited debut in the heavyweight division against Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in a fight that came together after Francis Ngannou was stripped of the title and exited the promotion after a contract dispute. There have been many different dynamics to a Jones comeback over the years, as well as multiple potential opponents. Ultimately Gane is the name who he will face, and some pundits believe it to be the most difficult challenge “Bones” could face after all this time off.
