THE GOAT became a world bleater as Jon Jones was crowned the new heavyweight champion at UFC 285 in Las Vegas yesterday.
Jones, the former light-heavyweight king, returned to the octagon after a three-year absence to demolish Ciryl Gane in just over two minutes, the 35-year-old quickly taking the Frenchman to the canvas before clamping on a guillotine choke for the tap-out victory.
‘Bones’, who has one no contest and a disqualification loss on his otherwise perfect 29-fight record, last fought in February 2020 at 205lbs but proved that bigger is better to claim the vacant heavyweight title.
