Penn and Randy Couture as the eighth multi-weight UFC champion. -- Derek Brunson (+170) vs. -- Jon Jones (-195) vs. This time around he opened as a slight favourite over Jones but that line quickly swung in Jones's direction. Jones was roughly -300 chalk in his rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, approximately -700 facing Anthony Smith, -500 versus Thiago Santos, and longer than -400 against Reyes in a fight he won on the judges’ scorecards, but not the public’s. The only issue with that if you’re leaning towards or cheering for Gane? Jones landed an average of 4.30 significant strikes per minute at 57 per cent efficiency in the 205-pound division; he absorbed 2.22 significant strikes per minutes with 64 per cent defence. The 32-year-old from France knocked out former heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos, won five-round main event unanimous decisions over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov, and earned an interim title by stopping Derrick Lewis in 2021. Alexander Volkanovski’s and Valentina Shevchenko were the only champions that didn't lose whilst Jones was away. Cormier later went on to become heavyweight champ, but how Jones does in his new weight class will be a mystery until he and Gane clash. He became champion in his seventh UFC bout and over the years accumulated multiple divisional and organizational records on his journey to becoming the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in the sport and undisputed defending UFC champion at the time of his release.

“That took me a while to get used to. “I feel awesome,” he told reporters on Thursday, saying he hoped to make the fight look easy. “I feel great. I’m not super lean, I don’t have a mean six-pack like I used to. “It feels amazing. “I developed a whole lot of belly and a whole lot of a**,” Jones told BT Sport, adding that he’s enjoyed being able to eat more in the buildup to the fight.

At the current prices, I prefer the under 4.5 to the ends inside the distance line, but if the latter moves back to plus-money, I’d take that instead. Jones has one of the best fight IQs ever though, so he’s likely well aware of that fact. He’s far and away the better grappler than Gane, but he’s a dangerous striker in his own right. Ultimately, whether this fight hits the canvas or stays standing, I think a finish is likely to follow. Stylistically, a great scrap should be in store given how each of these contenders is comfortable both on the mat and on the feet. Trying to envision exactly how this fight plays out is a bit difficult, though, simply because of the varied factors involved. As UFC 285 totals began to open this week, I was surprised that many sportsbooks went with 2.5 rounds instead of 1.5 rounds for the main-card bout of lightweights Mateusz Gamrot vs. 9 contender in the UFC strawweight division, Ribas is moving up a weight class to take on the No. I expect du Plessis to walk through the fire in the second and third rounds and eventually finish Brunson with attritional damage, ground and pound, or via submission.
