Jon Jones Makes Quick Work of Ciryl Gane To Win UFC Heavyweight Title

• Jon Jones made a triumphant return to the UFC as he beat Ciryl Gane in the first round of the title fight
• Bones captured the UFC Heavyweight championship and cemented his place as the GOAT of MMA
• UFC Heavyweight champion Jones has called out former champion Stipe Miocic for his first title defence

Jon Jones is the new UFC Heavyweight champion.

Bones returned to the organisation after three years and made light work of Ciryl Gane, submitting the French fighter in the first round of their title fight.

Jones' entry to the cage lasted longer than the entire fight as Bones wasn't allowed into the Octagon until some tape on his foot was cut off. Jones had the tape on his toe and foot after he suffered a nasty injury to it in a previous fight.

Once he got into the ring, the action started and immediately stopped within the first seven seconds of the fight. Gane accidentally landed a low blow but Bones didn’t take long to shake it off and the action resumed.

It then didn't take long for Jones to take the fight to the ground. Jones ducked under a punch from Bon Gamin and immediately went for a clinch, dragging Gane to the ground. Using his strength, he pushed Gane up against the cage and within seconds he managed to hook in a guillotine choke.

The hold was so deep in that Gane had no choice but to tap within a few seconds. Suffering no damage during the fight, apart from the low blow, Jones is ready for a quick turnaround and called out Stipe Miocic next.

Miocic is a former two-time heavyweight champion and is considered the best heavyweight champion, a title that Jones wants for his own.

Jones' eagerly anticipated return

Many were wondering what version of Jones would show up against Gane. The former Light Heavyweight champion had not competed in the sport in three years and was in a different division. Jones ran through everyone in the division and moved to heavyweight because he wanted a new challenge.
