Jon Jones Predicts Ciryl Gane Rematch Win, Shares Intimidating Interaction

UFC legend Jon Jones has shared his thoughts on Ciryl Gane's upcoming rematch against Tom Aspinall, predicting a win for the French heavyweight.

Jones, who defeated Gane in the first round at UFC 285, revealed that he was intimidated by his opponent's competitiveness after the fight.

What Happened?

In a recent interview with Ring Magazine, Jones shared an eye-opening story about Gane's character. "The night I fought him, we were backstage and talking with the doctor. He came in behind the curtain, came up in front of me...and at that moment he seemed so much bigger than just moments before [laughs]. He looked me in the eye, shook my hand, and said, 'I'll be back. We're going to do this again'. And he meant it!"

Why It Matters for Jon Jones

Jones' prediction for Gane's rematch against Aspinall comes as the French heavyweight looks to avenge his loss in their first fight. Gane has earned his fourth undisputed heavyweight title shot after defeating Alex Pereira to win the interim belt at UFC Freedom 250.

What Comes Next?

Jones will be keeping a keen eye on the Aspinall vs. Gane rematch as he continues to ponder another potential return to the Octagon. When asked about Gane's chances, Jones said, "I think Gane is going to win. When you become the champion, and you beat a man like Alex Pereira, it has to do something for your confidence."

Jones' comments come as a testament to Gane's character and competitiveness. The French heavyweight's ability to bounce back from a loss and remain focused on his goals is a quality that Jones respects.

Gane's rematch against Aspinall is expected to take place later this year, with the French heavyweight looking to avenge his loss in their first fight. With Jones' prediction and Gane's determination, the stage is set for an exciting rematch.
