Considered as one of the fastest progressive boxers UFC over the past time, Ciryl Gane impressed by the attractive standing style. The comprehensive skill set of Muay helps French boxers can not lower almost every opponent he has encountered. However, Jon Jones did not seem too worried about this strength of the opponent.
The upcoming match is the first time “Bones” returned to play after 3 years. They will encounter each other in the center of UFC 285 event. This is the second time Cyril Gane entered a Heavyweight championship match, and Jones was the first time. Earlier, he only played in the Light Heavyweight weight until he had to take a break.
“Cyril Gane is the best striking boxer I ever encountered? I don't think so,” Jon Jones shared on his personal page. He added: “Thiago Santos, Lyoto Machida and many others have the skills to fight better than Cyril Gane, and I have confronted them. But everyone will be quiet, this is not a kickboxing match.”
The higher weight of the competition helped Jon Jones felt more nimble, the punches were also richer. In addition, UFC's talented fighters also confirmed that he was practicing harder than ever. Jon Jones at the age of 35 seemed to be very different before.
As the leading UFC fighter, Jon Jones once held the UFC championship at the age of 24. He continuously defended the belt successfully afterwards, even holding the record with the most wins to protect the belt at UFC. However, strong personality also caused Jones to be deprived of the championship three times due to the use of banned substances, as well as violating ethical standards.
