LAS VEGAS – Ciryl Gane is sending fair warning to Jon Jones that a wrestling-heavy game plan isn’t going to work out when they meet for the vacant UFC heavyweight title . Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is set to be the man who welcomes Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) back to the octagon after more than three years when they meet in the main event of UFC 285 on March 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+. The fight came together after Francis Ngannou hit an impasse with the UFC brass in contract negotiations. He was stripped of the heavyweight belt and has been released from the organization. UFC president Dana White said Stipe Miocic was the first candidate to get the bout with Jones, but when it didn’t come to fruition, it went to Gane.
