The return of Jon Jones is finally here! It’s been about three years since we have seen Jones in the Octagon (last fought February 8th 2020). For those who are not familiar with Jon Jones, many would argue him to be the greatest fighter in UFC history. While he technically has a loss on his record (Matt Hamill in 2009), don’t let that fool you. Jones was disqualified in that bout, but he absolutely demolished Matt Hamill. Jon Jones has never suffered a real loss throughout his 27 career MMA fights. Our big edge in this bet with Jon Jones is his grappling. We saw Francis Ngannou (who is not known for his grappling) taking down Ciryl Gane with ease. Jon Jones should be a much tougher task to deal with in that aspect. Jones is also a creative and unorthodox striker, which Gane has not seen in his young career. We believe Jon Jones is capable of winning this fight wherever it goes. The three year layoff is the biggest concern. That said, Jones is only 35 years old, and one could argue that given how young he came into the sport, it may have been beneficial to give his body some time to recharge. With an athlete of Jon Jones caliber, we have no concerns about his ability to snap right back into things. Our wager is 2 units on the Jon Jones moneyline.
