We are just one day away from one of the most exciting pay-per-views of the year. UFC 285 is headlined by former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and French star Ciryl Gane. The pair will fight for the vacated UFC heavyweight champion. Earlier, Jones was expected to make his heavyweight debut against ex-heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. However, the Cameroonian exited the promotion a while back. Therefore, UFC went ahead with Jones vs. Gane for the vacant heavyweight championship. In the co-main event of the pay-per-view, we have Valentina Shevchenko putting her title on the line against Alexa Grasso for the eighth time in her career.
We also have Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Geoff Neal, Bo Nickal vs. Jamie Pickett, Cody Garbrandt vs. Trevin Jones, and more on this pay-per-view. So ahead of this much-anticipated pay-per-view of the year, let’s take a look at the options to stream the event.

The return of ‘Bones’
Jon Jones has reigned the light heavyweight division for a long time. However, in 2020, ‘Bones’ vacated the title in the quest to become the next UFC heavyweight champion. He was preparing for his big heavyweight debut for almost three years.

Now fans will get to see how the former champion performs after a long layoff. Jones is already considered the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, given his amazing 26-1 MMA record.
However, his next test is one of the most skilled strikers in the heavyweight division, Ciryl Gane. If Jones gets past Gane and becomes the heavyweight champion, there will be nothing left for him to prove in the sport.
What are your predictions for this heavyweight fight? What do you guys think about Gane’s skills?
