The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view with a championship doubleheader at UFC 285 on Saturday live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main event, fans will be treated to the highly-anticipated return of former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Jones will be making his heavyweight debut against former UFC interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane. Jones (26-1, 1 NC) has not fought in three years, , while Gane (11-1) is looking to get back to title contention and build off of his knockout win over Tai Tuivasa in September 2022.
The co-main event is equally as deserving of buzz with flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko defending her 125-pound title against top contender Alexa Grasso. Shevchenko (23-3) will be making the 8th defense of her title, while Grasso (15-3) is looking to make it five wins in a row and become the latest Mexican UFC champion.
