UFC 285 is around the corner. Jon Jones, one of the greatest mixed martial artists, will return to headline the pay-per-view. ‘Bones’ will be back after a three-year layoff from fighting. ‘Bones’ will challenge one of the finest strikers in the division, Ciryl Gane, for the vacant heavyweight title. Jones was expected to fight the former champion Francis Ngannou for the title. However, after the latter’s exit from the promotion, UFC has scheduled this title fight. Nevertheless, this fight is a treat for the fight fans, given both fighters’ history in the sport. Besides the main event, the co-main event of UFC 285 also looks promising. Valentina Shevchenko, the flyweight queen, will return to defend her crown for the eighth time in her UFC career. She will take on Alexa Grasso, one of the top contenders in the division.
