UFC 285 brings us the most stacked card of the year so far. The main event is a fascinating clash between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight title, but the remainder of the main card is filled with what should be thrilling contests.
Tonight’s co-main event has the often impervious Valentina Shevchenko defending her UFC flyweight title against the dogged Alexa Grasso. The main card also boasts two undefeated fighters are projected to challenge for titles in the future. Shavkat Rakhmonov will meet heavy handed Geoff Neal and wrestling phenom Bo Nickal faces off with Jamie Pickett. Rounding out the main card is a banger of a lightweight bout between Mateusz Gamrot and Jalin Turner.
