After an unfortunate kick to Jones’s groin in the fight’s first moments, the two felt each other out before Jones scored a takedown a minute into the fight. Jones was able to transition his body into a guillotine attempt on a seated-up Gane, where he scored the submission.
Jones now joins just a handful of fighters to win UFC gold in two weight classes — and specifically joining Randy Couture and former archnemesis Daniel Cormier as the only ones to win titles at light heavyweight and heavyweight.
