UFC 285 is set to kick off on March 5, 2023 with a highly anticipated title fight between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane. Renowned as the best Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter ever, Jones was a two-time light heavyweight champion, and holds the record of 11 successful title defenses in the promotion.[0]<\/a><\/sup> This individual, aged 35, is a well-rounded martial artist, who is proficient in both grappling and striking.[1]<\/a><\/sup> Gane symbolizes the emerging trend of MMA, having swiftly advanced up the heavyweight rankings to confront Ngannou for the championship in January 2022.[2]<\/a><\/sup> After being defeated by decision, he was able to rebound and score a knockout against Tai Tuivasa in the latter part of last year.[2]<\/a><\/sup> Gane possesses a broad range of talents, allowing them to win in knockout, submission, and decision matches with equal proficiency.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The card is stacked from top to bottom, with co-main event featuring women\u2019s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso.[3]<\/a><\/sup> As the fight went on, it seemed that Shevchenko had obtained the necessary data to reverse the situation.[4]<\/a><\/sup> Shevchenko employed wrestling tactics to limit Grasso's access to her favored striking techniques.[4]<\/a><\/sup> Grasso seized a fleeting chance, catching onto Shevchenko's back as the titleholder failed to land a spinning kick and quickly taking the duel to the ground and binding the choke, breaking Shevchenko's nine-fight winning streak which included seven successful title defenses.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

If Grasso can keep the fight in a standing position, she may be able to gain an advantage.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Shevchenko gets 34% of her significant strikes in the clinch or on the ground (compared to 66% while standing), whereas Grasso gets only 18% of her strikes in the clinch or on the ground (with 82% while standing).[6]<\/a><\/sup> Grasso's takedown defense rate of 65%, which is higher than the UFC average of 55%, implies that Grasso's most suitable plan of attack is to challenge Shevchenko in a stand-up fight, not as a grappler.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
