Jones vs Gane Odds & Predictions

Jon “Bones” Jones returns to the octagon for the first time in over three years on Saturday night. Jones, the brother of NFL players Chandler and Arthur, last fought in February of 2020, where he defeated Dominick Reyes via unanimous decision.

The former light heavyweight champion will attempt to become just the 8th fighter in UFC history to hold title belts in two different weight classes. Standing across from him in the cage will be Ciryl Gane, who came up short against Francis Ngannou in his previous bid for the heavyweight title.

A native of Paris, France, Gane has the size (6’4, 247 lbs) and movement skills necessary to cause Jones problems. Gane glides with the grace of a much lighter fighter, and has the striking talent to derail Jones’ shot at MMA glory. However, his ground game and overall grappling capabilities will be put to the test on Saturday night.
