Jon Jones has manifested his destiny and won the undisputed UFC heavyweight championship. After months of hype, Jones and Gane locked the cage door behind them at UFC 285. With their fight, the series of events that kicked off 2023, from Francis Ngannou exiting the UFC and vacating the title, came to a conclusion. The former light heavyweight champion did not even need a round to remind everyone who he was.

Jones entered the octagon after a three-year layoff to face former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane. The consensus greatest UFC fighter of all-time was always going to try and build his already cemented legacy.

Meanwhile, Gane had the opportunity to correct the mistake he made against Ngannou and claim the heavyweight gold.

However, Jones succeeded by submitting his opponent in the first round. He looked as dominant as ever.
