Ciryl Gane and Jon Jones will face off Saturday night at around 4 a.m. for the UFC heavyweight title.
Certainly one of the most important fights in the history of French sport. On the night of Saturday to Sunday, from 4 a.m., the French Ciryl Gane will try to become heavyweight world champion against Jon Jones, a true legend of this sport. And a few hours before the fight, the UFC unveiled photos of the American’s physical transformation.
Jon “Bones” Jones. “Bones” translates to “os” in French. Nickname given to the American during the first years of his career because of his morphology. But today, this nickname seems inappropriate. Jon Jones is a true UFC legend, multiple champion in the “light heavyweight” category, that is to say, from 84 to 93 kilos. But for his return to competition after three years of absence, Jon Jones moved up to the next category, in heavyweight (93 to 120 kilos). As a result, the American has made a transformation to say the least, surprising.
