Ultimate veteran, Darren till did not hide his excitement at the confirmation of the fight between Jon Jones e Cyryl Gane. In analyzing the fight valid for the vacant heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg), the Englishman was incisive when discussing 'Bones', which will return to action after more than three years of inactivity. In an interview with 'Basketball Insiders', the middleweight (up to 83,9kg.) named his favorite.

“It’s a great fight. It will be interesting, because Francis Ngannou managed to take down Gane and Jones is one of the best wrestlers in the heavyweight division. That counts a lot for me. Jones is not a dumb fighter, who will go for a stand-up against Gane. It will merge the skills. Jones hasn't fought in a long time, but I believe he will still prove to be strong. It will be a great spectacle”, assured Till.

No UFC 285, Ultimate fans will be introduced to the newest champion of the 120,2kg category. The clash between Jon and Ciryl was made official moments after it was confirmed that the division's former leader, Francis Ngannou, had been dismissed by the company.

The end of the agreement between the French-Cameroonian and the organization was due to the failure to agree on salary bases considered fair by the parties. With the 'giant' gone, Jones and Gane took the lead in the group.
