After years away, Jon Jones is about to step back into the UFC octagon. In the UFC 285 main event, ‘Bones’ Jones will make his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane with UFC heavyweight gold on the line.

UFC 285 is just around the corner on March 4. Henry Cejudo, former two-division UFC champion, filmed the final training session of the all-time great Jon Jones. On YouTube, Cejudo shared:

“Jon Jones FINAL Training Session Before UFC 285 v Ciryl Gane … EXCLUSIVE look into Jon Jones’ last training session in Albuquerque, New Mexico before his UFC 285 heavyweight title fight vs Ciryl Gane. “Triple C” Henry Cejudo gives Jones some last-second advice for “Bones” heavyweight debut! RETURN OF THE GOAT EP. 3!”

Jon Jones at UFC 285

Jon ‘Bones’ Jones has one the best legacies in MMA history with notable wins over former UFC champions such as Maurício ‘Shogun’ Rua, Daniel Cormier, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Vitor Belfort, and Glover Teixeira. Jones vacated the light heavyweight crown in 2020 but will soon be making his comeback this time at heavyweight.

France’s Ciryl Gane will be looking to spoil Jones’ return at UFC 285. The MMA fighter has a background in Muay Thai. Gane is a former UFC interim heavyweight titleholder and most recently coming off a TKO win over Tai Tuivasa.

On motivation in coming back into the UFC to try and become a two-division world champion, Jones said:

“I believe I have the attitude of a champion and a winner, and I’m not apologetic for it. It’s a cold world out there, and this world will pass you by if you give another man anything over yourself.”

Aljamain Sterling, Henry Cejudo, UFC 288

Aljamain Sterling will compete against a returning Henry Cejudo at UFC 288, according to Sterling himself. 

During a new Youtube video, Sterling announced that he will defend his UFC bantamweight title against Cejudo on May 6. No official announcement has been made by the UFC. 

“I’m fighting May 6 against Henry Cejudo. I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Sterling said. “Henry, I can not wait for the challenge to fight you and I know and I hope you can’t fight me as well. The crowd deserves a big fight. This is a big fight for the bantamweight division.”

Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo is Expected to Finally Happen

For months, rumors have been swirling on if and when the two bantamweights would square off. Now, it seems that they are expected to fight at UFC 288. 

Sterling (22-3) has been on a tear in the bantamweight division for nearly five years. He’s been unbeaten dating back to April 2018. He captured the bantamweight title against Petr Yan in a controversial disqualification at UFC 259. A year later, he silenced critics by successfully defending the title against Yan. He defended the title for a second time, when he secured a second-round TKO against T.J. Dillashaw last October at UFC 280. 

Cejudo hasn’t fought since May 2020. The former two-division world champion last defeated Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. He is a former UFC flyweight and bantamweight world champion. 

“I’m happy that I’m sitting on top of the [bantamweight] throne. I know you’re happy that you’ve been once on top of this throne. Let’s go out there and show the world some magic and make some good things happen and make this one for the history books,” Sterling said. “I’m taking you very very seriously and I can not wait to put my shin across your head and show you that you’re good but you’re just not on my level.”
