Jon Jones made a triumphant return at UFC 285 and claimed the heavyweight throne on March 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
'Bones' took on Ciryl Gane in the main event for the vacant heavyweight title. The former light heavyweight ran through 'Bon Gamin' and submitted him in the opening round with a guillotine choke.
With the victory, Jones joined the elite list of fighters who have claimed a UFC title in two different weight divisions.
The MMA world also shared their thoughts on the UFC 285 main event outcome on social media.
Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou congratulated Jones on his win while hailing himself as the 'heavyweight king'.
Sean Strickland criticized Gane for his performance and called Jones the greatest fighter to ever grace the UFC octagon.
Comedian Andrew Schulz asked for the UFC to re-sign Ngannou for a potential clash between him and Jones. Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling echoed Schulz's opinion on Twitter.
"Hey UFC, sign Francis now. Sincerely, ALL OF US."
