UFC 285: preview and prediction

After three years away, one of the UFC's greatest ever champions, Jon Jones, is back in the Octagon. However, the fighter that will take on former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 is a little different to the one you'll remember. 

Gone is that shredded sixpack, for starters. "Bones" has piled on the pounds to make the step up from light-heavyweight to heavyweight, and his dramatic physical transformation has got everybody pondering if the qualities that made the American such a dominant champion at 205lb have been lost in his efforts to make the grade at 265lb.

His height and reach advantages set Jones apart during his light-heavyweight title reign, but he's set to pick on someone his own size in Gane. The Frenchman's reach doesn't quite measure up to that of Jones, but he's both taller and younger than his opponent, and has been a UFC heavyweight for more than three years.

Any speed advantages that you'd ordinarily expect a lighter fighter to hold over a heavier opponent don't really apply in this particular case, seeing as "Bon Gamin" is probably the most elegant, fleet-footed heavyweight out there, owing to his kickboxing background. 

Counterintuitive as it may sound, for Jones to stand a chance he may need to turn this into a brawl. 

The main card starts at 10pm ET / 3am GMT. The Jones vs Gane cagewalks are expected at around 1am ET / 6am GMT. Follow our guide below as we explain how to watch a UFC 285 live stream, so you can catch Jones vs Gane and the rest in the Octagon.
