It would be a little unusual to pair two up-and-coming prospects together this early in their UFC careers, but I think it would benefit both right now (win or lose).

“This one is a win lost. “This one is so painful,” Gane said. Then Grasso, 29, put Shevchenko in a position where she was forced to tap out. “I had to show up and get (Gane) down to the ground,” Jones said. Middleweight Bo Nickal, 27, won his UFC debut, submitting Jamie Pickett, 34 by arm triangle at 2:54 of the first round. The former light heavyweight champion said it was important to cement in his own mind that he deserved the honor as the greatest ever. UFC President Dana White said the gate was $12.5 million, the highest for a heavyweight match and the fourth-highest ever. He won a record 14 title fight at light heavyweight. There were questions whether so much time off would affect Jones’ effectiveness, and he spent time at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to prepare for this night. He hired a team in Albuquerque to get him into optimal shape. “I been wresting since I was 12 years old. I’ve been faithful to my goal, faithful to my mission.”

The Mexican fighter was a huge underdog coming into the fight before securing the rear-naked choke in the fourth round.

"It was the training," Grasso said. Shevchenko, whose win streak was snapped at nine, suffered her first defeat since a disputed split decision against Amanda Nunes in their 2017 rematch for the bantamweight title. Grasso ducked in to instantly take Shevchenko's back while securing a rear-naked choke as the two fell to the ground. "This is kind of what is happening in mixed martial arts. Shevchenko's incredible flyweight title reign, which began in 2018 with a decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the vacant title, reached a UFC female record of seven title defenses. "I have dreamed of this moment for so long."

And as I got more into it, as I got more into the culture, I realized that if I wanted to do it right, I would have to really commit my life to it. The 40-year-old hasn't competed since losing his belt to Ngannou in 2021. With Francis Ngannou leaving the UFC, Jones is now the man to beat, and there will be several fighters who want that opportunity.

The bout ended at 2:04 of the first round and gave Jones his second weight class championship.

I think Grasso is a very tough fighter, but I want to be the one to take the title from her." There will be a number of threats who are looking to pry the belt from her. She took the former champion's back and locked in a choke that forced the tap. Shevchenko continued to exploit her advantage on the ground going into the third round. In doing so, she became the first Mexican woman to earn a UFC title. Bullet didn't become a dominant champion without the ability to adjust, though.

UFC 285 lived up to the hype thanks to two historic performances to close out the show in Las Vegas. Jon Jones dominated and wasted no time in claiming the…

He's a potential star in the making, but it's going to take time for him to develop the other areas of his game. Pickett was simply the first to fend off Nickal's first submission attempt. The question is going to be how quickly the UFC wants to fast-track him. Jamie Pickett gave Bo Nickal the toughest test of his MMA career. Gamrot's wrestling was the deciding factor in this one. Geoff Neal pushed the 28-year-old, but it wasn't enough to keep Rakhmonov from getting the finish. But it looked like Bullet was going to do her usual thing and take over the fight as it progressed. Grasso gained some early momentum in the first round. UFC 285 marked the end of an era in the women's flyweight division. For him to come back after three years of inactivity and dominate a fighter like Gane this quickly is a terrifying notion for the rest of the division. Bon Gamin looked like a fish out of water while Bones was completely in his element as he maneuvered into position for the choke. Jon Jones dominated and wasted no time in claiming the heavyweight championship over Ciryl Gane.

Alexa Grasso became the third Mexican UFC champion of 2023 on Saturday after completing a massive upset against Valentina Shevchenko.

This is part of the game. Grasso took advantage of the mistake. "This is what happens in mixed martial arts," Shevchenko said.

Jones cemented himself as the best MMA fighter of all time while Grasso authored the latest wild upset in a title fight.

Still, it's hard to see the fight being overturned and a rematch with Pickett is a waste of everyone involved's time. Given how pivotal the takedown was to Nickal's gameplan, it's understandable that Pickett's manager is To be fair, before the first minute was up, Nickal was already fishing for a submission finish. A fight with Covington is a test with a far higher difficulty but it'd be better to see Rakhmonov advancing up the ranks quickly than getting stuck fighting middle-of-the-road contenders for the next few years. But Grasso took advantage of a split-second opportunity, latching onto Shevchenko's back after the champion missed a spinning kick and immediately taking the fight to the floor and locking in the choke, snapping a nine-fight winning streak for Shevchenko that included seven successful title defenses. Shevchenko will certainly be given an immediate rematch, which will force Grasso to prove the win was not a fluke. The UFC 285 main card opened with several fights featuring heavily-hyped prospects getting a chance to shine on the big stage. But mixed martial arts is a volatile sport with so many paths to victory that it is almost a guarantee that defeat will eventually find even the greatest fighters. While there was plenty of talk about how dangerous an opponent Gane was, the reality is that a properly motivated Jones will always be a nightmare for someone with Gane's grappling deficiencies. Jones' greatness was on full display, taking just over two minutes to force Gane to tap out and winning a title in the second weight class in his career. Jones winning changed the heavyweight division in a massive way and could spark big returns for the UFC's overall business, but Grasso snatching the title from Shevchenko was far more shocking. That said, Jones secured his place as MMA's "GOAT" on Saturday night by not only finally moving to heavyweight, but making incredibly easy work of Gane, a proven and capable top-tier heavyweight.

Aspinall resumed sparring in January and might be on the verge of a comeback. Fortunately, Gane did not absorb any damage in the fight and can make a quick turnaround. A March 25 fight between Brady and Pereira was scrapped after Brady suffered a torn groin. Grasso can cement her place as the future and Shevchenko can turn back the clock. Jon Jones is your new UFC heavyweight champion and the path is clear for a dream fight with Stipe Miocic. While it is true that Miocic has been absent since losing to Ngannou in 2021, Sergei Pavlovich -- the only contender more deserving of a shot -- woefully lacks name value and has a fight booked. This is certainly a reasonable time to book the fight. Jones deserves to be UFC heavyweight champion and Miocic is the best situated for a title shot. Stipe Miococ: A dream fight between the most successful UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champions in history appears to be in the works. The main card also featured a thrilling UFC debut by highly-accomplished collegiate wrestler Bo Nickal and a major showcase for Shavkat Rakhmonov, a likely future title challenger. Jones is now surrounded by rareified air, including longtime rival Daniel Cormier, as the eighth two-division champion in UFC history. Jones and Miocic are arguably the greatest light heavyweight and heavyweight fighters in mixed martial arts history, respectively.

On Saturday, it seemed Jones and Moses had repaired their relationship, and Jones is back on the path to superstardom with his longtime partner at his side. “I feel like s–t.” I love you so much,” Jones said.
