First Look At Heavyweight Jon Jones Ahead Of Ciryl Gane Fight At UFC 285

Jon Jones invested his whole profession in the light heavyweight department, however, not any longer … the UFC legend is now a heavyweight, and we’re seeing JJ’s body for the very first time!

35-year-old Jones positioned for marketing images on March 1 ahead of his UFC 285 fight with 32-year-old previous interim champ Ciryl Gane … and you can plainly see 6’4″ Jon loaded on some major size.

Jones methodically expanded, including muscle over the last 2+ years. When his fight with Alexander Gustafsson was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame last fall, Jon informed the crowd he weighed 255 pounds.

It’s uncertain just how much he ideas the scales at now, however Jon formerly mentioned he was intending to weigh 270 pounds. heading into fight week, prior to cutting a couple of pounds to make the heavyweight limitation of 265 pounds.

FYI, Jones weighed 204 pounds. for his last fight versus Dominick Reyes … which he won by consentaneous choice.

Of course, Jones is the best LHW (205 pound.) fighter to ever step foot in an MMA cage … however, there’s a factor weight classes exist. Size matters, regardless of what you’ve heard.

As for his challenger, Gane is a bonafide heavyweight. He’s 6’5″, and weighed 247 pounds. for his last fight versus Tai Tuivasa.
