The fans are also highly excited to witness Jon Jones return to the octagon after three long years. Through social media, both fighters have made it clear that they are undergoing heavy training for the fight.

‘Bon Gamin’ has a record of eleven victories and a single loss, while ‘Bones’ has earned 26 victories and a single loss. Their records are enough to prove what great fighters they are.
