Making a triumphant return to the octagon after a three-year hiatus, Jon Jones claimed the heavyweight championship at UFC 285 in March. In a spectacular display, he swiftly submitted Ciryl Gane within the opening round. This victory marked a pivotal moment in Jones’ career as he transitioned from his remarkable accomplishments in the light heavyweight division to compete in the heavyweight class.
Notably, Jones had previously relinquished his light heavyweight title in 2020, paving the way for his remarkable ascent to the heavyweight ranks. This strategic move further solidifies Jones’ legacy as he embarks on an exhilarating new chapter in his fighting journey.
Following a substantial absence of nearly three years, Stipe Miocic is poised to make his highly anticipated return to the octagon. In his last appearance, Miocic, renowned for holding the record for the most title defenses in the division, suffered a knockout defeat at the hands of Francis Ngannou during UFC 260 in March 2021.
However, prior to that, Miocic showcased his prowess by securing consecutive victories over Daniel Cormier, ultimately emerging triumphant in their compelling three-fight rivalry. As Miocic prepares for his comeback, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing his resilience and skill as he seeks to reclaim his status among the heavyweight division’s elite fighters.
