France’s Ciryl Gane will be looking to spoil Jones’ return at UFC 285. The MMA fighter has a background in Muay Thai. Gane is a former UFC interim heavyweight titleholder and most recently coming off a TKO win over Tai Tuivasa.

On motivation in coming back into the UFC to try and become a two-division world champion, Jones said:

“I believe I have the attitude of a champion and a winner, and I’m not apologetic for it. It’s a cold world out there, and this world will pass you by if you give another man anything over yourself.”
