'I'm going to beat him in every aspect' - Stipe Miocic vows to dethrone Jon Jones at UFC 295

Stipe Miocic is adamant he is going to regain the UFC heavyweight championship when he squares off against Jon Jones at UFC 295 on November 11 at Madison Square Garden. The 40-year-old holds the record for the most title defences in the UFC’s heavyweight division but faces one of the biggest challenges of his career as he takes on Jones, who is renowned as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. Ad Jones, 35, has a chequered past in the organisation and has been at the centre of various controversies, but few deny his ability inside the octagon.

However, where some have been overawed by the occasion, Miocic has vowed to take the fight to his foe and make sure it’s contested on his terms.

I’m going to do what I want. The minute I let him stop doing what I want, I’ve lost the fight. “But if I do what I want, my chances are a lot better of winning than losing.” Jones made the jump to heavyweight from light heavyweight after his 2020 win over Dominick Reyes but wouldn’t fight again for more than three years as he took an extended break to get comfortable at his new division.

A bout with Francis Ngannou was touted for his return before the Cameroonian announced his departure from the UFC. That paved the way for Jones to take on and conquer Cyril Gane for the vacant belt, making him one of a select few to win titles at different weight classes.
