The UFC stripped heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou of his belt after terminating his contract. The UFC and Ngannou were unable to come to an agreement on a new contract after Ngannou wasn’t willing to accept their final offer.
UFC President Dana White announced that Jon Jones will make his debut at heavyweight and fight former title challenger Ciryl Gane for the UFC heavyweight championship at UFC 285 which takes place on March 4.
Henry Cejudo Training Jon Jones
Jon Jones is used to training with Jackson-Wink MMA in New Mexico where he lives but that relationship went sour after Jones was arrested for domestic abuse. Jones does not have an official head coach now and is working with former UFC double champ Henry Cejudo in Arizona.
Cejudo released a 10 minute video on YouTube which shows him and Jones discussing tactical plans ahead of the Gane fight. Cejudo retired from the UFC as double champ but is now looking to come back and regain his bantamweight belt.
Jon Jones is widely regarded as the greatest MMA fighter of all time and has a stiff challenge ahead of him as Jones hasn’t fought for nearly 3 years. Jones has said that he could have Henry Cejudo in his corner for the Gane fight!
