“Lionel Messi Is Laughing at This” – Jon Jones’ Title Win Over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 Sparks Major Debate

UFC 285 was much anticipated by the fans as Jon Jones was returning after the gap of three years in the main event. The MMA fighter last took to the octagon in February 2020, when he beat Dominick Reyes on points to retain his light heavyweight title. He demolished his rival Cyril Gane on Sunday, sparking the debate between fans.  

Jones took a gap of three years to shift to the heavyweight category. He made his heavyweight debut in UFC 285 in style. It took two minutes for the fighter to claim his first heavyweight title. He now joins Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier to win the UFC titles in two weight divisions.

Dominant Jon Jones sparked debate between fans

The dominant win of Jones over Gane made a social media user tweet, “Jon Jones is the most dominant athlete of all time in any sport.” It didn’t go down well with the soccer fans, especially Lionel Messi fans, who were quick to respond to the original tweet. 

One soccer fan wrote, “Lionel Messi is laughing at this tweet.” The majority of the fans disagreed with the original tweet and mentioned Messi as the one. Messi recently won the FIFA Best Men’s Player award after winning the World Cup with Argentina last year. He is a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and holds many soccer records to his name.
