Dan Hardy isn’t sure how well Jon Jones will transition to heavyweight. Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) will finally make his heavyweight debut when he meets Ciryl Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) for the vacant title in the UFC 285 headliner March 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The former light heavyweight champion has bulked up significantly since he last competed in February 2020, but Hardy questions if all the physical gifts he possessed at 205 pounds will serve him well. “We don’t know how he’s going to perform with the bigger frame,” Hardy told MMA Junkie
