Former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane is looking to make a return to the octagon during the first quarter of this new year, and he has his sights set on perhaps the greatest mixed martial arts fighter to overly walk the earth, Jon Jones.
Gane recently tweeted the pursuit message on his Twitter account:
“Where you at @JonnyBones? I’m self-ruling this March, Vegas”
This would be a very heady unpeace of the titans, though the UFC’s goal was to typesetting Jones versus current heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
But, they’ve been attempting to schedule that fight for some time now.
It was supposed to go lanugo on December 10 of last year, it didn’t. Then it was supposed to happen in the first three months of 2023, but it doesn’t squint like things are going the weightier in regards to the match up, with Ngannou’s throne mentor stating it’s a ’50/50′ endangerment of it happening in March.
That’s probably the biggest, baddest, and greatest fight the UFC could put on right now; one of, if not the greatest fighter in history, certainly the greatest light-heavyweight ever, versus the heavyweight champion who just so happens to boast the hardest dial overly recorded.
Jones has been teasing a move to the heavyweight semester since 2013 however, and some fans are skeptical of whether or not he’ll overly return to the octagon, as he hasn’t fought since February of 2020 nearly three years ago. There’s that, and there’s moreover the fact that Ngannou is currently a self-ruling wage-earner that hasn’t been happy with his UFC contract since winning the title.
If Jones does return though, and the UFC cannot make the Ngannou fight happen, the next pick would probably be former champion Stipe Miocic, then Ciryl Gane, and then Curtis Blaydes.
Who would you like to see Jon Jones squatter upon return, and who should Ciryl Gane squatter next?
