In the world of mixed martial arts, UFC 285 brought forth a new victor in the heavyweight division. The main event took place between the former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and MMA fighter Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title. This highly anticipated fight thrilled fans around the world, including the former NXT Women’s Champion. The enthusiasm stretched to an extent that she ended up placing a $100 bet with her bestie on Jone’s win in the match.
“Everybody knows the level of wrestling of Jon Jones,” these were the words of his opponent, which are enough to make the unacquainted people understand who Jones is. He not only fights but studies his opponents as well, in order to potentially exploit them. We saw an example of this in his fight with Gane where he submitted the Frenchman in the very first round which resulted in making the AEW star feel delighted.

As soon as the fight between Bones and Gane ended with an easy win for the former over the latter, Saraya must be behind her friend Renee Paquetter for the $100. As the two-time WWE Divas Champion publicized their bet much before the match.
