Jones will battle Ciryl Gane for the vacated heavyweight title at UFC 285 in March, as Dana White announced.

The 35-year-old last fought Dominick Reyes in February 2020, earning a win by unanimous decision to defend his UFC light heavyweight title. He had been holding out due to a contract dispute, but will now return to the Octagon and make his debut in the heavyweight division.
