By The Numbers: Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane

Off-the-charts anticipation figures to greet Jon Jones when he suits up in the Ultimate Fighting Championship for the first time in 1,120 days.

Seeking to become a rare two-division titleholder, “Bones” will confront Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight crown in the UFC 285 headliner on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Jones enters the cage on the strength of a four-fight winning streak. The former light heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound king last appeared at UFC 247, where he took a five-round unanimous decision from Dominick Reyes on Feb. 8, 2020. Gane, meanwhile, enjoys some newfound momentum. He last competed on Sept. 3, when he punched out Tai Tuivasa in the third round of their UFC Fight Night 209 pairing.
