Former two-time undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic has revealed the promotion have offered him a title fight with the victor of this weekend’s vacant championship clash between Jon Jones, and Ciryl Gane – with a bout offer for UFC 290 on July 8. during International Fight Week.
Miocic, the current #2 ranked heavyweight contender under the banner of the UFC, most recently featured back in March 2021 against fellow former undisputed champion, Francis Ngannou suffering a devastating second round KO in the pair’s championship rematch.
A former two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, Euclid veteran, Stipe Miocic first struck gold on enemy territory in Brazil, stopping Fabricio Werdum back in 2016 with a first round KO.
Beginning his second reign in a rematch knockout win over former two-division champion, Daniel Cormier in 2019, Miocic would defeat the Louisana native in a title trilogy rubber match the following year before suffering his knockout loss to Ngannou.
Still very much at play within the ever-altering heavyweight fray, Miocic has now revealed that ahead of UFC 285 this weekend, the organization has offered him a slot against either Jones or Gane on July 8. – with the International Fight Week billed UFC 290 event booked for the T-Mobile Arena.
“Yeah, they [the UFC] told me, July,” Stipe Miocic said during an interview with the above-mentioned, Daniel Cormier ahead of UFC 285. “They said it – International Fight Week. That’s what I was told, so.”
During his first reign as undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Miocic managed to land an impressive run of three successful title defenses, defeating Alistair Overeem with a first round KO in his native Ohio, before avenging a loss to former champion, Junior dos Santos in 2017.
In his first matchup with the then-promotional-perfect, Ngannou at UFC 220 in January 2018, Miocic managed to secure a unanimous decision win over the Cameroonian knockout artist.

Slated to headline UFC 285 in just over two weeks’ time in a heavyweight division debut, former light heavyweight kingpin, Jon Jones has offered to fight former two-time division champion, Stipe MIocic next, should he strike gold.
Booked to headline the March 5. event against former interim heavyweight titleholder, Ciryl Gane in Las Vegas, Nevada, look-see-do fighter, Jones will make his first Octagon outing in over three years at the pay-per-view event.
Last time out, Jones headlined a February 2020 event against multiple-time title chaser, Dominick Reyes, edging out the Californian in a close, debated decision victory in Houston, Texas.
Previewing his return next month against the aforenoted French technician, Gane, Jones admitted that he was putting everything into his fight with the Factory MMA Paris staple, however, already outlined his intentions to fight Ohio veteran, Miocic in what would come as his first heavyweight title defense.
“You know, Stipe Miocic would be a great challenge,” Jon Jones told TMZ Sports. “Obviously, I’m not looking past Ciryl Gane – I’ve got a huge, huge order ahead of me. But Stipe Miocic is who I’ve got my eyes on. People consider him the greatest heavyweight of all time.”
“And the opportunity to compete against such a man, I’d be honored,” Jon Jones explained. “The opportunity to beat such a guy would be truly something special and that’s what I want to do. I want to solidify my legacy, and I know you have to fight the best guys out there. And as long as Stipe’s still in the game, that would be the next – that would be my next target.”
Yet to fight since March 2021, Miocic suffered a second round KO loss to former undisputed heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou in the pair’s championship rematch. Miocic currently sits as the #2 ranked division contender.
Fans are less than a month away from seeing a new and improved Jon Jones inside the Octagon. The former light heavyweight champion will make his first walk to the cage in over three years on March 4 when he headlines UFC 285 against No. 1 ranked heavyweight contender Ciryl Gane.

Fans are less than a month away from seeing a new and improved Jon Jones inside the Octagon.
The former light heavyweight champion will make his first walk to the cage in over three years on March 4 when he headlines UFC 285 against No. 1 ranked heavyweight contender Ciryl Gane. The pair will battle it out to become the new UFC heavyweight champion after former titleholder Francis Ngannou took his ball and went home.
Ever since ‘Bones’ announced his move to heavyweight in August 2020, fans have been chomping at the bit to see what he can do in the promotion’s heaviest weight class. In just a matter of weeks, fans will get their first glimpse. Ahead of his highly anticipated return to action, Jon Jones detailed his body transformation over the last few years which included putting on 40 pounds of muscle.
“One of the hardest things was not being able to lose my shape while still trying to pack on 40 pounds,” Jones said during a Twitter Spaces with Kanpai Pandas. “I think when the fans see me, they’ll be surprised that I still look a lot like I used to — [although] my shoulders are a lot more broader, I freaking gained a whole bunch of ass, unfortunately — but just trying to keep that shape and doing it the right way” (h/t MMA Fighting).

Jon Jones knows that Ciryl Gane is not a man you want to look past, but ‘Bones’ admitted that he is looking forward to cementing his legacy against the general consensus heavyweight GOAT Stipe Miocic once he takes care of business at UFC 285.
“I’ve got my sights on Stipe Miocic,” Jones said. “I think it just means the most. There’s a lot of guys out there, but for me, personally, for my legacy, to defeat the greatest heavyweight of all-time, it just means the most to me. As far as how soon, hopefully I get out of this fight with no serious injuries, but I’d let to get [back] out there as soon as possible. My goal is anywhere from two to three fights depending on how it looks.”
The pair have been linked together as recently as late last year when rumors began to swirl that the UFC was attempting to book a showdown between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic at UFC 282 in December. Of course, the fight never materialized, but it appears that Miocic is game for a UFC heavyweight title fight against the winner of UFC 285’s main event next month.
“March 4th – I like it. I got winner in July” Miocic wrote on Twitter.
Jon Jones, while talking to the media at UFC 306, hinted at retiring following his UFC 309 headliner against Stipe Miocic.

Jon Jones, while talking to the media at UFC 306, hinted at retiring following his UFC 309 headliner against Stipe Miocic. The former UFC light heavyweight champion debuted for the promotion in 2011 and has amassed the most title fight wins (12) so far, naturally making his retirement a big deal among fans.
After being the most dominant UFC light heavyweight ever, Jones moved up to heavyweight. In March 2023, he beat Ciryl Gane in his heavyweight debut to capture the division’s undisputed championship. However, he has yet to defend the title and despite Tom Aspinall finishing all top contenders, former champ Miocic is getting the title shot.
Although Jones has mentioned retirement several times at this point, Chael Sonnen simply doesn’t buy it…
Sonnen opened up on the recently confirmed matchup between Jones and Miocic for the UFC heavyweight championship on his YouTube channel. He acknowledged that MMA fans are now more excited to see “Bones” being tested by Aspinall who even defended his interim UFC heavyweight belt against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304.
“The American Gangster” believes that Jones’ retirement is not the UFC legend’s idea at all. Somebody from the media or the internet randomly questioned his retirement and since then, he’s agreed to it a couple of times.
In Sonnen’s view, Jones teasing retirement after fighting Miocic is a clever yet effective marketing idea. Over the years, the light heavyweight GOAT has amassed millions of fans who would tune in to watch him fight for potentially the last time without a second thought.
“I’m watching this. Oh, Jon has grabbed on to that retirement idea. He did not mean it, it was completely insincere, it wasn’t even his idea. Somebody else said it, he heard it, thought it might be good to go with. And a couple of different reasons guys that are not going to retire say that they’re going to retire. A couple. One could be, he heard somebody else say it thought it might be good marketing. He never comes out and does anything to try for marketing and he went for it. Another one is just the same reason you did things like that when you were a child. So that somebody else would tell, oh no, hey, whoa, we want you, you’re great.”
Sonnen, Jones’ former rival, is optimistic that we’ll see him in the Octagon against Aspinall before he retires. He stated that “Bones” adding “most likely” to his latest statement about retirement gave it all away. The undisputed heavyweight champ is either selling his upcoming fight or wanting the UFC to stop him from retiring through obvious incentives.
