Will the opportunity to become a two-division champion invigorate him or were his more recent struggles indicative of how Jones will perform Saturday night (and possibly for the remainder of his career)?

His opponent is Trevin Jones, whose own journey in the division has led him to some of the toughest unranked fighters in the UFC. Garbrandt has superb boxing ...

She hasn't finished any of her wins since her UFC debut and as the talent gets better those opportunities to grind out wins become less frequent. I predict that Marquez will use his superior wrestling to take Barriault down, and overwhelm him on the ground to secure a submission victory. Dricus Du Plessis is the latest prospect to stand up to Brunson. Jones is also in the midst of a losing streak. Jones' striking is his best asset and it can act as his get out of jail card. Garbrandt has superb boxing and his knockout of Raphael Assuncao would not have looked out of place on a Top Rank or PBC main card.

Jones recovered an elderly woman's belongings after chasing down a mugger on the same day that he became the youngest champion in UFC history.

Jones went on to knockout Rua and win the light-heavyweight title at just 23-years-old, a UFC record that is yet to be broken. "As the guy pulls us up in his car, he's like 'Listen guys, this is a pretty bad neighbourhood so you might want to be careful, a lot of people getting mugged here.' Just as he said that, I pull off my seatbelt and I see an old Spanish couple screaming. Jones was scheduled to face MMA legend Shogun Rua for the light-heavyweight title in 2011, but little did 'Bones' know that he would be getting into another scuffle on the same day as the biggest fight of his life.

Penn and Randy Couture as the eighth multi-weight UFC champion. -- Derek Brunson (+170) vs. -- Jon Jones (-195) vs. This time around he opened as a slight favourite over Jones but that line quickly swung in Jones's direction. Jones was roughly -300 chalk in his rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, approximately -700 facing Anthony Smith, -500 versus Thiago Santos, and longer than -400 against Reyes in a fight he won on the judges’ scorecards, but not the public’s. The only issue with that if you’re leaning towards or cheering for Gane? Jones landed an average of 4.30 significant strikes per minute at 57 per cent efficiency in the 205-pound division; he absorbed 2.22 significant strikes per minutes with 64 per cent defence. The 32-year-old from France knocked out former heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos, won five-round main event unanimous decisions over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov, and earned an interim title by stopping Derrick Lewis in 2021. Alexander Volkanovski’s and Valentina Shevchenko were the only champions that didn't lose whilst Jones was away. Cormier later went on to become heavyweight champ, but how Jones does in his new weight class will be a mystery until he and Gane clash. He became champion in his seventh UFC bout and over the years accumulated multiple divisional and organizational records on his journey to becoming the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in the sport and undisputed defending UFC champion at the time of his release.

Farid Basharat refused to pull out of his fight on The Contender Series and he ended up earning his UFC contract with an injury he later learned was ...

“I was moving around with Javid — and this is funny actually, it was Wednesday and Javid was doing his stuff in the cage at the P.I. I would if I could but my arm is just giving out, it’s too painful.’ He goes, ‘No, you’re just being a wuss!’ Then a couple of weeks later, I get an MRI. I said, ‘OK, let me just get my weight down first.’ I got on the treadmill for an hour, ran, and then I went to the P.I. “I did a crazy long warmup, and then even in Round 1, it was still sore. Afterward, Basharat immediately shifted his attention towards his brother Javid, who was already competing in the UFC with his next fight booked just a few days later. Then he kind of takes me down and I could have posted out but I just fell on my back. “Not for a second did I think I was going to pull out of the fight,” Basharat said. There was no way in hell I was going to get rejected from achieving my goal, from achieving my dream of getting that contract. “I was worried about how I’m going to make weight. And then on my first spar back, it was that spar — I was doing great, it’s the first round and I get taken down, and as I post out, my arm just locks up completely and just cracks. Originally signed to debut on Contender Series this past July, Basharat was pulled from his scheduled appearance after his opponent William Souza failed to make weight and the bout was scrapped. Because I had a multitude of different issues — a chest infection, and I couldn’t spar for a while.

Still, it's hard to see the fight being overturned and a rematch with Pickett is a waste of everyone involved's time. Given how pivotal the takedown was to Nickal's gameplan, it's understandable that Pickett's manager is To be fair, before the first minute was up, Nickal was already fishing for a submission finish. A fight with Covington is a test with a far higher difficulty but it'd be better to see Rakhmonov advancing up the ranks quickly than getting stuck fighting middle-of-the-road contenders for the next few years. But Grasso took advantage of a split-second opportunity, latching onto Shevchenko's back after the champion missed a spinning kick and immediately taking the fight to the floor and locking in the choke, snapping a nine-fight winning streak for Shevchenko that included seven successful title defenses. Shevchenko will certainly be given an immediate rematch, which will force Grasso to prove the win was not a fluke. The UFC 285 main card opened with several fights featuring heavily-hyped prospects getting a chance to shine on the big stage.

Jones winning changed the heavyweight division in a massive way and could spark big returns for the UFC's overall business, but Grasso snatching the title from Shevchenko was far more shocking. That said, Jones secured his place as MMA's "GOAT" on Saturday night by not only finally moving to heavyweight, but making incredibly easy work of Gane, a proven and capable top-tier heavyweight.
