Can Jon Jones height be a benefit: Jones has been hinting at a transfer to heavyweight since 2020, and this year he will make the switch. Jones, in his first fight in over three years, will challenge former interim champion Ciryl Gane for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Fans can’t wait for March 4 to come around so they can watch the two competitors square off inside the Octagon.

Aside from Jones and Gane, the evening’s other major event is Valentina Shevchenko versus Alexa Grasso, the number four-ranked female flyweight contender in the UFC. In addition, on the main card, we will see bouts between Geoff Neal and Shavkat Rakhmonov, Mateusz Gamrot and Jalin Turner, and Bo Nickal and Jamie Pickett.

Jones has never lost in a bout before and is a four-time winner in this one. While not every argument Jones has made has been compelling, he always seems to come out on top in the end. Nonetheless, Gane has been remarkably steady throughout his UFC career, despite having a losing and winning record in his most recent two bouts.

Gane has been bragging about his improved strength in interviews leading up to the battle. In spite of the promotion, Jones feels confident in his ability to swim through his new division. As such, he thinks he has what it takes to finish off the French phenomenon Ciryl Gane, who is the division’s undisputed top dog since Francis Ngannou’s retirement. Gane deserves another chance at the championship after his dominant performance against Tai Tuivasa in their most recent match.

Where Jones really shines, though, is in grappling and wrestling, and that’s an area where we haven’t seen as much of Gane. Hence, Gane needs to vastly enhance his performance from UFC 270 vs Ngannou. It is easy to see why Jones is the popular pick to win. Jones, a lethal striker with a strong ground and submission game, should prevail.
