Jon Jones added the UFC heavyweight championship to his impressive list of achievements with a first-round submission win over Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 285 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The newly-crowned champ made it look effortless. The first time Gane committed to a strike Jones took him to the ground and eventually locked in the guillotine choke that earned the tap.
Jones' place in MMA and UFC history were already well solidified. But coming back after a three-year layoff to win the heavyweight championship takes it to a whole new level.
The once-dominant light heavyweight kingpin weighed in at 248 pounds and proved he can beat elite heavyweights after competing at 205 pounds for so long.
