The G.O.A.T. is back and he’s the heavyweight champion of the world. I don’t know how many people thought they’d be saying that on the Monday morning after UFC 285, but Jon Jones has been defying expectations since the first time he entered the Octagon with a style meshed together from plenty of YouTube videos and last Saturday night was no exception. Yes, Ciryl Gane’s own style was tailor-made for a grappling-heavy attack, but Jones executed flawlessly, showed no signs of ring rust, and seemingly adjusted to his new weight class with no issues. History made, another notch in the belt that separates him further from the G.O.A.T. pack, and seriously, now the real fun begins, as I can’t wait to see Jones in there with the likes of Stipe Miocic, Sergei Pavlovich and Curtis Blaydes, three fighters who may be the ones to truly test him in the heavyweight ranks.
