Saturday, March 4 at 10 p.m. ET
Jon Jones, also known as “Bones”, is a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and is widely considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. Jones is known for his exceptional athleticism, striking ability, and grappling skills. Despite his impressive record, Jones has faced several controversies in his career, including multiple failed drug tests and legal issues outside of the octagon.
On the other hand, Ciryl Gane is a relatively new face in the UFC, but has already made a name for himself as one of the most promising heavyweights in the division. Gane, a former Muay Thai fighter, has an impressive record of 10-0 and has showcased his striking abilities in his previous fights. Gane is also known for his footwork and ability to move quickly around the octagon, which has helped him to avoid taking significant damage from his opponents.
The fight between Jones and Gane has been highly anticipated by MMA fans around the world. Many see the bout as a clash between two fighters at different stages of their career: Jones as the experienced veteran looking to prove his dominance in the heavyweight division, and Gane as the rising star looking to make a name for himself by defeating a legend.
One of the key factors in the fight will be the striking abilities of both fighters. Jones is known for his powerful punches and kicks, while Gane is a proficient striker with a high volume of strikes. Jones has also shown impressive grappling skills in the past, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to take Gane to the ground and control him.
Another factor to consider is the difference in size between the two fighters. Jones, who is 6’4″ and has a reach of 84.5 inches, has traditionally fought in the light heavyweight division and is moving up to the heavyweight division for this fight. Gane, who is 6’5″ and has a reach of 81 inches, is a natural heavyweight and has a slight size advantage over Jones.
The fight between Jones and Gane is not just about the two fighters themselves, but also about the future of the heavyweight division in the UFC. Jones, who is widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, has the potential to become a dominant force in the heavyweight division if he is able to make a successful transition from the light heavyweight division. Gane, on the other hand, has the potential to become a star in the division and potentially even become a future champion.
Ultimately, the fight between Jones and Gane is a clash between two fighters with different styles and at different stages in their careers. It is a fight that has been eagerly anticipated by MMA fans around the world and has the potential to be one of the most exciting fights in recent memory. With both fighters possessing exceptional skills and a desire to win, it is anyone’s guess who will emerge victorious. MMA fans will have to wait until March 12 to find out.
