UFC 285 Fight Card

UFC 285 takes place this coming Saturday night, March 4th in Las Vegas and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

In the main event we finally see the long-awaited return of Jon Jones as the former dominant light-heavyweight champion steps up after a three year absence to fight Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title.

In the co-main event there’s more title action as flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko takes on a fresh challenger in the four-fight unbeaten Alexa Grasso.

A rescheduled fight between top 10-ranked welterweights sees the heavy-handed Geoff Neal (No.7) go up against the 16-0 undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov (No.10).

Mateusz Gamrot suffered a loss last time out to end a four-fight winning streak, and the No.7 ranked lightweight now comes in on short-notice to fight the 10th ranked Jalin Turner, who is on a five-fight unbeaten run.

Opening up the main card will be one of the most talked about Contender Series recruits to date, as wrestling ace Bo Nickal makes his official UFC debut against Jamie Pickett, who is coming off back-to-back losses.
