“That took me a while to get used to. “I feel awesome,” he told reporters on Thursday, saying he hoped to make the fight look easy. “I feel great.

'Bones' looks to pick up the heavyweight title after Francis Ngannou vacated the belt when his UFC contract expired.

His biggest fight purse so far was $580,000 (£484K) against Cormier in 2017, where the fight was deemed a no contest after Jones tested positive for Turinabol, a steroid. This is huge in comparison to his previous fight, where he earned just $6,000 (£5K) against Tai Tuivasa. When Jones signed up for this massive bout, it was an eight fight contract that made him the highest paid heavyweight athlete. Since then, he has won 17 fights in a row, if you discount the no contest decision against Daniel Cormier six years ago. It was a hugely controversial decision, where a lot of fans thought Reyes came away the better fighter. It is now three years since Jones last fought, where he defeated Dominick Reyes at UFC 247.

“Jones’ sole loss in mixed martial arts came courtesy of a controversial disqualification for the use of illegal elbows. All four spend a significant amount of their time in front of cameras with microphones in hand, enlightening fans on what is unfolding in the cage. She is also married to UFC flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez, so knows what goes through a fighter’s mind on fight week as well as anyone. Olivi, meanwhile, is a reporter and host whose face is as familiar on UFC broadcasts as Anik and Fitzgerald’s voices are. You could argue that there are just shy of 600 correct answers to that question, with the name of any fighter who steps foot in the Octagon a valid response. His two title losses saw the light-heavyweight belt taken from him not by an opponent but by the UFC, due to an arrest and a failed drug test respectively. UFC 285 LIVE In the US, ESPN+ will stream the action live, as will the UFC’s Fight Pass. Furthermore, Mateusz Gamrot and Jalin Turner clash in a highly-anticipated lightweight bout, and former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt features, as do veteran Derek Brunson and promising Irishman Ian Machado Garry.
