American MMA fighter Jon Jones created history by defeating Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 285. With the historic win, Jones lifted the heavyweight title. He joined the list of select UFC fighters to have won titles in two different weight class, as Jones had also been the light heavyweight champion earlier.

It was a dream comeback for Jones who entered the octagon after a three-year hiatus. In his debut heavyweight fight, Jones made Gane bite the dust only few minutes into the match, claiming victory by submission.

Meanwhile,  Alexa Grasso shocked Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event to win women's flyweight title. Grasso won by submission, just seconds before the conclusion of round 4. After the third round, Shevchenko was in the lead by 29-28,29-28,29-28. But a brilliant choke by Grasso on her, shattered Shevchenko's dreams of retaining the title.

In other matches of the main card, Shavkat Rakhmonov won in the welterweight category by submission over Geoff Neal. Mateusz Gamrot overpowered Jalin Turner in lightweight, securing the win by split decision after the conclusion of three rounds. And Bo Nickal surpassed Jamie Pickett through submission in round one of middleweight category.
