UFC 285 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, March 4 with Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane in the main event.
Jon Jones will make his return to the Octagon for the first time since February 2020 but with more than 40 pounds more packed into his frame as he challenges Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC Heavyweight Championship on Saturday, March 4 at UFC 285 in Las Vegas, NV.
At the official weigh-ins, Jones actually came in 0.5 pounds heavier than Gane for the fight, which speaks to the bulk that he’s put on as the two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion jumps up a weight class.
The main card is packed outside of the main event, though. Valentina Shevchenko will defend her UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship on Saturday against challenger Alexa Grasso. Meanwhile, one of the most decorated wrestlers in US history, Bo Nickal, will face off with Jamie Pickett. Breakout star Jalin Turner is also on the card, facing off against Mateusz Gamrot.
This is going to be a can’t-miss MMA event and you might be wondering how you can watch the PPV but maybe not pay the PPV prices. We’ve got you covered.
