After a three year hiatus, Jon Jones is officially back, defeating Ciryl Gane just two minutes into the first round to claim the vacant UFC Heavyweight belt and cement his legacy of being the greatest pound-for-pound greatest fighter to ever compete in the promotion. Leading up to his highly-anticipated return for UFC 285, Jon Jones has accused Ciryl Gane of taking this opportunity too lightly, and when it came time to perform, Jones made it look easy, applying pressure from the jump and forcing Gane to tap after squeezing in a successful guillotine off his first takedown.
