Jon Jones has expressed his opinion on the current interim heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane.

Jones gave his take on what 'Bon Gamin' would be like as an opponent in the future and stated that the Frenchman is "unique" for the heavyweight division.

"I think he’s pretty unique for a heavyweight," said Jon Jones via Twitter. "I don’t think the world is ready for how unique I’m going to be. I believe my light heavyweight experience will be the biggest difference in my future fights."

Gane is one of the most technically skilled heavyweights in UFC history and is known for his clinical striking and slick footwork.

Meanwhile, Jon Jones is gearing up for a heavyweight debut after vacating his UFC light heavyweight title in 2020, pertaining to issues with the organization regarding fighter pay.

Jones has been rallying for a fight with Ngannou for a while now and may face the winner of the heavyweight unification bout between Gane and 'The Predator' next year.

Jon Jones is the guy that will present the most problems to Ciryl Gane. Why? Because Jon Jones has fought at 205, he has skill of little guy and Jon Jones has seen athletes before. Jon Jones beat me twice, and I'm an athlete!..."
