Jon Jones is back in the cage three years after leaving Saturday March 4 in the United States to face Ciryl Gane with a major stake, the world heavyweight title.
Initially, Jon Jones was to face Francis Ngannou the world heavyweight champion. But the Cameroonian decided to withdraw, leaving his belt vacant. Who to designate to face the icon Jon Jones? All eyes have turned to the French UFO Ciryl Gane. Admittedly defeated by Francis Ngannou on January 23, 2022 for the world title, the Vendéen turned out to be the best representative. Because despite his meter 93 and his 112kg, opposite, he will face “the undefeated” and the one who is described as the Michael Jordan or the Mohammed Ali of the discipline, Jon Jones. With its 8 victories (3 by KO, 2 by submission and 3 by decision), the French giant seems almost very small.
Jon Jones is the youngest champion in history, the most crowned. He was never submitted, he was never knocked out. He does not know failure and the American reigned supreme in the light heavyweight category. He suffered only one defeat and this one by disqualification due to an unauthorized blow. In the cage, he was clinical, his technique near-perfect. But he was away for three years. During this period, he set himself a new objective, to return to fight in the premier category, that of the heavyweights. He has therefore gained weight to be within the standard required by the UFC and will play his first fight against Ciryl Gane on the weekend of March 4-5.
In the United States and with the time difference between Las Vegas and Paris, the fight between Ciryl Gane and Jon Jones is scheduled for Saturday March 4. At the same time in France, this fight will take place on Sunday March 5th.
