Jon Jones
- Odds: +102
- Record: 26-1-0
- Age: 35
- Height: 1.93 m
- Weight: 92 kg
- Reach: 215 cm
Born in Rochester, the 35-year-old is a two-time UFC light heavyweight champion. After three years of inactivity, Jon Jones appears to be making the jump to the top flight for a title shot against Ciryl Gane.
His record is untarnished since joining Dana White’s franchise. He won all but one, in which he was stripped of his title for a positive doping test result. The only loss of his career was on The Ultimate Fighter, in 2009, when he was disqualified for illegal strikes.
Ciryl Gane
- Odds: -125
- Record: 11-1-0
- Age: 32
- Height: 1.93 m
- Weight: 112 kg
- Reach: 206 cm
Born in France, Gane has been nearly flawless since making his UFC debut in 2019 with an 8-1 record. A close decision loss to Cameroon’s Francis Ngannou in his heavyweight title shot is the only blemish on his record.
He is coming off much more activity than his rival. In his last bout, in September 2022, he beat Tai Tuivasa (Australian) by KO in the third round. Before dedicating himself to mixed martial arts, he dabbled in Muay Thai, a discipline from which he retired undefeated.
JefeBet Prediction
In this case, Jones’ long inactive period may take its toll on him, but it is known that between heavyweights, the punches are no joke. That is why the two-time light heavyweight champion is a great candidate to win the heavyweight title against an opponent who, when he had the opportunity, wasted it.
Prediction: Jon Jones wins by KO.
