UFC 285 full fight card winner and results
Within the first 2:04 of the battle, Jones had the French fighter submit to a guillotine choke, making him the new heavyweight world champion. Suddenly, Jones quickly dodged a strike, took Gane’s back, and successfully completed a significant takedown. When Gane’s back was against the cage, Jones quickly converted that takedown into a guillotine choke. Jones’ prowess and indisputable MMA GOAT title were amply demonstrated when Gane bowed to the hold.
After Jon Jones defeated Ciryl Gane with ease at UFC 285 and won the heavyweight championship by first-round submission, former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou made sure to criticize Jon. And after defeating Gane so easily at UFC 285, the MMA GOAT didn’t waste any time in calling out Stipe Miocic, the former two-time heavyweight champion who was present at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
