After a record 14 title victories at light heavyweight. Jones ends a three-year hiatus to move up and fight top-ranked Ciryl Gane for the vacant championship
LAS VEGAS — Jon Jones has spent the past three years at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, focusing on being with family, hunting and getting ready for his big comeback.

Just about all eyes will be on Jones, who not only must prove that he can be just as successful is the heavyweight division as he was one level down, but also that the long layoff won’t negatively affect him.
