UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones Intent on Fighting Stipe Miocic Upon Return to Octagon
UFC fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Jon Jones to the Octagon, and it seems that a showdown with Stipe Miocic could be on the horizon. In a recent tweet, Jones emphasized his intention to stick to his original plans and face Miocic, the current heavyweight champion.
Miocic, who also expressed his desire for the fight on the Jaxxon Podcast, is waiting eagerly for the opportunity to step into the Octagon against Jones. The two were scheduled to meet at UFC 295, but Jones had to withdraw due to a torn pectoral tendon.
While Jones has his sights set on Miocic, interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is eyeing a title unification bout with Jones. Aspinall has been impressive in the UFC, with dominant first-round finishes in his recent fights.
Despite the hype surrounding Aspinall, Jones remains a formidable force in the heavyweight division. As Jones continues to rehab from his injury, the timing of his return to the Octagon remains uncertain.
As Aspinall looks towards potential matchups with other contenders like Curtis Blaydes, the focus remains on Jones honoring his commitment to face Miocic when he makes his return to the Octagon. Fans will have to wait and see how the heavyweight division unfolds in the coming months.
