Come out to Shipgarten on March 4th to watch the undisputed UFC heavyweight championship be on the line when former 205-pound champion Jon Jones makes the move north to face France's Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 285 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A top contender who has won 11 of his 12 pro bouts, Gane now has the vacant undisputed crown in his sights, but to get it, he has to hold off the charge of UFC superstar Jones, whose storied career in the light heavyweight division now gets a second chapter among the heavyweights, where "Bones" will attempt to make history by becoming a two-division champion. Enjoy the fight on two 155” TV Walls, 8+ 4k TVs, and multiple projectors throughout the venue. var exampleCallback = function() { console.log('Order complete!'); }; window.EBWidgets.createWidget({ // Required widgetType: 'checkout', eventId: '559079691407', iframeContainerId: 'eventbrite-widget-container-559079691407', // Optional iframeContainerHeight: 425, // Widget height in pixels.
