On Saturday night history was made. Jon Jones submitted Ciryl Gane in just over two minutes to become the new heavyweight champion and secured his place as the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Jones was returning from a three-year layoff in hopes of becoming a champion of a new division. Gane was looking to finally earn the undisputed title after holding and losing the interim title previously. On top of that, he was looking to be the first man to legitimately beat Jones in the Octagon. Here’s how UFC fighters reacted to the moment: https://twitter.com/alexvolkanovski/status/1632258396291477504 https://twitter.com/Actionman513/status/1632258336132411395 https://twitter.com/twrecks155/status/1632258292637417472 https://twitter.com/Super_Sodiq/status/1632258164727984129 https://twitter.com/justin_tafa/status/1632258123925970987 https://twitter.com/SStricklandMMA/status/1632258099322195969 https://twitter.com/PannieKianzad/status/1632258029746896896 https://twitter.com/KidKvenbo/status/1632258652613799936 https://twitter.com/bullyb170/status/1632257908657487872 https://twitter.com/rakic_ufc/status/1632257935601463298 https://twitter.com/JamahalH/status/1632257715123757058
