Jon Jones completed an amazing comeback at UFC 285. He took down Ciryl Gane in the first round to get his hands on the heavyweight title. While the loss will deject Ciryl Gane, he should be thanking the stars for aligning in his favor and landing him a fight against Jon Jones. Francis Ngannou, who was the heavyweight champion, would have fought Jon Jones if he would have been here in the UFC. He left after some disagreements with the management and Ciryl Gane got the opportunity to have a go at the title.

Jones was later asked by the media about his reactions on Francis Ngannou. The reporters informed the American of how Francis Ngannou had sent his best wishes to him after the victory. In response, Jones said some x-rated things that left the attending fans and reporters in splits.
