Jon Jones opens as an underdog against Ciryl Gane
As the underdog entering a bout, Jon Jones is in an unfamiliar situation. At UFC 285 in Las Vegas, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jones will make his eagerly-awaited heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight championship on March 4. Following the release of the incumbent champion Francis Ngannou from his contract dispute with the UFC that lasted more than a year, the belt became vacant.

According to BestFightOdds.com, Jones will enter the bout as a slight underdog at +100, while Gane, 32, will return as a -120 favorite. This indicates that a $100 stake on Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) would result in $100 in earnings, while a $120 wager on Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) would return $100 in winnings.
UFC News Round up: BKFC offers a deal to Francis Ngannou
It didn’t take long for prospective suitors to declare their interest in joining the Francis Ngannou enterprise. PFL and Bellator indicated interest on social media after UFC president Dana White announced on Saturday that Ngannou left the organization and its heavyweight title behind to investigate his alternatives. President of BKFC David Feldman is currently following suit.
Feldman told MMA Junkie on Sunday, “We’re interested in signing Francis Ngannou and would very much like to have him compete in the stacked BKFC heavyweight category. We have a proposal for his services on the table, and we hope that in 2023, fans will be able to witness him on the BKFC squared circle.”
