By Returning from a three year layoff, former UFC Light heavyweight Champion Jon Jones stamped his claim as the best* heavyweight mixed martial artist on earth last night by submitting Cyril Gane in the first round. Jones needed just over two minutes to secure a front choke on Gane and capture the crown as the baddest* man alive when it comes to unarmed combat. Jones was exuberant after the bout when interviewed by UFC commentator Joe Rogan who noted the win made Jones “the greatest* in history. It’s cemented. You’re the heavyweight champion* of the world.”
Jones also took time to thank his friends, family and team, without whom he never would have made it to the top* of the division. He also noted he was excited to face Stipe Miocic, and that “if there’s one thing I know about the UFC, it’s that we give the fans what they want to see.”
