Initially opening as a surprising betting underdog ahead of his UFC 285 title fight this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, former two-time light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones is fast closing as a decent betting favorite to defeat former interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane in his Octagon return.
Jones, who has been sidelined from active competition since February 2020, most recently headlined UFC 247 against Dominick Reyes in Houston, Texas – successfully defending his light heavyweight crown in a close, unanimous decision victory.
Jones would vacant his light heavyweight crown in August of that year, ending his second reign as division kingpin, following a trio of title defenses against Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, and the above-mentioned, Reyes.
