Skinny legs no more – “Bones” is finally a heavyweight. And he looks the part.

UFC have been waiting years – a decade, in fact – to see how Jon Jones would fair at heavyweight. On March 4th, we finally get our answer.

Jones competes for heavyweight gold against Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 285 in one of the most highly anticipated fights in recent memory. The consensus MMA GOAT and former light heavyweight champion had teased a move up to heavyweight as far back as 2013 – but it’s finally a reality.

A win over Gane would cement his legacy as the best fighter MMA has ever known – but it will be no easy task. Gane is one of the most talented heavyweights in the world, with his only loss coming against former champion Francis Ngannou.

One thing’s for sure – despite “Bones” spending most of his career at 205, he doesn’t look like a small heavyweight.
