Ciryl Gane Reflects on Jon Jones Loss: 'I Don’t Recognize Myself There'

Ciryl Gane claims he wasn’t completely himself when he lost to Jon Jones at UFC 285.

Gane was the interim heavyweight champ when Jones returned to the Octagon after a three-year hiatus to fight for the vacant title. “Bones” barely crossed the two-minute mark in the first round before taking Gane down and securing a guillotine submission victory. It was a disappointing performances from “Bon Gamin,” whose only other career loss came against Francis Ngannou.

Looking back at the loss, Gane doesn’t recognize himself. Gane claims he was totally disoriented on fight night, which was reflected in his performance.
