It is very likely UFC 285 will be the defining moment of Jon Jones legacy. Jones is already an all-time great. Even those who find him to be a despicable human being acknowledge he’s in the running for GOAT status. Fair or not, whether many see him as the GOAT likely hinges on his securing heavyweight gold against Ciryl Gane. In many ways, the night is just as important for Gane. Gane already has a cloud hanging over him given he didn’t just lose to Francis Ngannou, but lost to him by being outwrestled by the powerful striker. While Gane has won a fight over Tai Tuivasa in the interim since failing in his first big to outright lay claim to heavyweight gold, few care to remember that.
