Jones is confident of victory against Gane
Jones at the press conference for the fight stated that he intends to have a dominant performance against Gane.
He analyzed the strengths of his opponent and highlighted his flaws in wrestling and why he is ready to replace Cameroonian-French professional mixed martial artist Francis Ngannou as the new champion.
He said, "It's hard to say whether the fight will be my toughest challenge or not.
"I am ready to dominate but if I don't dominate and the fight goes five rounds then I'm ready for a dogfight.
)
"To bleed, sweat and leave my heart out there. I'm ready for however it goes.
"I realised that he [Gane] doesn't really have much wrestling. He relies on evasion and trying to get away.
"He relies on jiu-jitsu instead of solid takedown defence. He does have the striking down, I don't think defensively he is a very strong kickboxer. Two other big holes are jiu-jitsu and wrestling."
