Initially opening as a surprising betting underdog ahead of his UFC 285 title fight this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, former two-time light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones is fast closing as a decent betting favorite to defeat former interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane in his Octagon return.
Jones, who has been sidelined from active competition since February 2020, most recently headlined UFC 247 against Dominick Reyes in Houston, Texas – successfully defending his light heavyweight crown in a close, unanimous decision victory.
Jones would vacant his light heavyweight crown in August of that year, ending his second reign as division kingpin, following a trio of title defenses against Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, and the above-mentioned, Reyes.
For Gane, the Frenchman managed to mint himself as the interim heavyweight titleholder with a dominant victory over Derrick Lewis back in August 2021, before meeting with brief former teammate, Francis Ngannou in a championship unification fight in January of last year.
Suffering the first loss of his naive professional career, Gane dropped a unanimous decision loss to the most recent undisputed champion, however, rebounded to earn his slot in Saturday’s vacant title fight with Jones off the back of a Paris knockout over Tai Tuivasa.
Initially opening as a surprising betting underdog at +140, Jones was pitted with the +166 betting favorite, Gane back in January of this year, upon Ngannou’s official release and stripping as undisputed champion.
And ahead of this weekend’s showdown, Jones is slowly moving toward distinct favorite status – with bookmakers placing the former Jackson-Wink MMA stalwart at -180, while Gane has drifting out as a +155 underdog.

Previewing his upcoming fight with Gane during fight week, Jones claimed that the Frenchman is the most limited fighter within the division’s top-15.
“I respect Ciryl Gane, I really do,” Jon Jones explained. “I say this humbly, but I study film constantly, and I just see a lot of patterns. When he is in one stance, there’s things he really loves to do. He goes to the same well a lot. When he’s in the opposite stand, he has a lot of tendencies.”
“I realize he doesn’t have much wrestling,” Jon Jones said. “He relies on evasion, trying to get away, He relies on Jiu-Jitsu instead of solid takedown defense. Same with the ground game. I watched Francis Ngannou be able to rack up maybe five or six minutes of top time in that fight. And Francis is not a guy that’s known to control people on top.”
As for Gane, the Fernand Lopez trainee claims Jones has all the proving to do on Saturday in what comes as his first outing at the heavyweight limit.
“I don’t really have a really good answer for him,” Ciryl Gane said. “Just the people who look at my fights on the striking game know I have good striking game. I did well against some guys who really, really dangerous in striking, so I think I proved it.”
“I started MMA five years ago; the pressure is maybe not on my shoulders,” Ciryl Gane continued. “It’s maybe more on him, because he must prove [himself]. Because he knows the situation, that he’s going to be more uncomfortable.”

This is not the first time Drake has bet big on combat sports. Only last week, he placed $400,000 on Jake Paul to KO Tommy Fury, a bet that of course did not cash, as ‘TNT’ would claim victory via Split Decision.
In 2022, the Canadian put 2 million dollars on Israel Adesanya to defeat his old kickboxing rival, Alex Pereira, at UFC 281. Adesanya was up on the judge’s scorecards, but with mere minutes to go in the final round, Pereira landed his signature left hook, TKOing ‘The Last Stylebender.’

With UFC 286 just over two weeks away, featherweight prospect Lerone Murphy is ready to go, but he still hasn’t found an opponent willing to step up.
After a substantial time away from the octagon, it seemed as though Murphy’s return to home soil was confirmed against his English counterpart Nathaniel Wood.
Although with a month to spare, Nathaniel Wood disappointingly announced that he had to pull out from the fight due to a sliced knee he suffered in training. Wood described it as a “freak accident” during wrestling practice, and says that movement in his knee is severely limited until his stitches are removed.
Based on Murphy’s recent tweet, he may not see it the same way Wood does.
Murphy’s last fight came in October of 2021, when he managed to knock out the highly experienced Makwan Amirkhani in the second round. He currently holds an 11-0-1 record featuring seven knockouts, with six of them coming in the very first round.
Speaking in a recent interview with LowKickMMA’s Tim Wheaton, Murphy says he feels like he’s in ideal shape and on schedule with his weight cut.
Without any limitations on who he may stand across come March 18, Murphy says if it was up to him the obvious answer would be Conor McGregor. He praised McGregor’s legacy in the UFC and says he began watching the UFC during McGregor’s early featherweight dominance to stardom, stating:
“That’s the biggest fight in the world. Everyone knows that, no one needs to shy away from it.”
Murphy also previewed the exciting trilogy headlining the O2 arena for UFC 286 and backed his fellow countryman Leon Edwards to conclude his business with Kamaru Usman and come out with a victory. He believes that after the incredible run Usman managed at welterweight, running into the catastrophe that occurred in the final round against Edwards will determine his future.
“You’re not gonna come back the same fighter.”
He attributes his prediction to the massive advantage he could have in his home nation, and the elimination of the high altitude which Murphy believes may have gassed Edwards out in their previous matchup.
Murphy also believes that Usman should’ve taken at least one year off to recover from the shocking knockout at UFC 278.
Looking back at his own career, Murphy does not care who the UFC offers him, as long as he finds an opponent.
He rates himself highly among his featherweight company, and if he manages to find an opponent and convincing win on March 18, then he may very well find himself ranked among the top 15.
Murphy understands he is still human and has questioned himself just days away from fights before.
“Why did I pick this life?”
He has kept his head up despite the missing opponent he’s been looking for, and has kept a positive mindset by training as if his matchup was confirmed.
“With preparation comes confidence.”

He went on an impressive unbeaten streak until his first career loss at the hands of all-time great ‘Mighty Mouse’ Demetrious Johnson, followed by a close split decision loss to Joseph Benavidez.
Cejudo then drilled at the gym and focused on improvement. Triple C’ then knocked out Wilson Reis, defeated Bellator Champion Sergio Pettis, avenged his loss to Demetrious Johnson, knocked out bantamweight king TJ Dillashaw, knocked out Marlon Moraes, and TKO’d former world champion Dominick Cruz. Henry Cejudo was a two-division UFC champion and left it all behind favoring retirement. He is likely to be back in 2023.
Russian Petr Yan was a standout talent in Muay Thai and Kickboxing before he transitioned to MMA. Though the fighter still primarily trains out of Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand. Yan is a former UFC bantamweight champion with impressive wins over fighters such as Jose Aldo, Uriah Faber, and Cory Sandhagen, among others. He is famed for his precise striking acumen.
