Shortly after Stipe Miocic successfully defended his UFC heavyweight title over Alistair Overeem, Jon Jones was asked his thoughts on fighting Miocic.
Jones said he felt like he would be the biggest challenge of Miocic’s career, and the champion sounds like he agrees with that.
While appearing on a recent edition of Submission Radio, Miocic was asked his thoughts on the challenge by Jones.
“We’ll have a great fight I think,” he said. “It shows that I’m doing something right if you want to fight me.”
Miocic, though, admitted that he isn’t sure if he should be forced to put his title on the line if Jones doesn’t climb his way through the rankings first.
“Yeah, that’s true. I mean there is a lot of ways you can look at it,” he said. “I’m not good at stuff. Like, if I was a matchmaker, I wouldn’t be fighting. So I’m just a fighter and they tell me who I’m gonna fight. So that’s all I worry about.”
