Many consider Jones to be the G.O.A.T. He has an impressive MMA record of 26 wins and just 1 loss. What is more astonishing about his career is the number of times he has successfully defended his light heavyweight title. After 14 successful title defenses, one can say that he had completely dominated the division for a long time.
A bout against Gane would be a very interesting one to watch. Gane could give tough competition to Jones. He has an undisputed record of 10 wins and 0 losses. A fight between both the dominant fighters would be brutal and violent. It would tarnish the almost perfect record of one fighter.
Which fighter should Jones face? Do you think Ciryl Gane would be a great opponent for Jon Jones in the heavyweight division? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
