Jon Jones is on the cusp of making his heavyweight debut and the former UFC light heavyweight king is turning his full attention to Stipe Miocic. Despite a long-desired fight against current UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou āBonesā believes a clash with Miocic holds more value at this time.
According to Jones, Ngannou is too one-dimensional. Jones also believes defeating Ngannou after the heavyweight has undergone knee surgery wouldnāt be viewed as the biggest victory. Instead, Jones wants a healthy Miocic and a fighter who offers more than just knockout power.
āAt this point Iām looking to fight Stipe, I think it proves more,ā tweeted Jones (via MMA Junkie). āFighting a fairly one-dimensional fighter fresh off knee surgery. I donāt know, I believe beating Stipe says more at this point.ā
With Ngannou on the shelf until the end of 2022 talks have already surfaced about a potential Jones vs. Miocic matchup. All the UFC has to do is open up its wallet and entice āBonesā back to the fold.
Run chicken legs run!
Stipe is the wrong choice.
He is clearly messing with Ngannouās head.
Dirtbag Jones is scared shitless of an angry black man. Hes grown so accustomed to beating frail white womenā¦ Fuck scumbag lowlife Jones!
Too much talking and no hype. Just book a fucking fight already JONES!
Jones values his life more so heāll fight Miocic is what he really means
Stipe is 39. Jones is calling out who he views as the easiest big name.
Sounds like he is on some good sauce
this is in case nganou doesnāt resign and goes to boxing. nganou is the bigger fight for sure if itās available. not sure which one would be harder for jones.
Jones sees an easier fight in an almost 40 Stipe.
I wonder when Jonās undisclosed PED suspension ends?
Cool, is his secret drug suspension almost over?
Edit, someone else already said it.
Itās been over two years now, right?
āLook at Francis over there defending āElsa,ā how cute,ā Jones tweeted. āI could takeoff two more years and you guys work combined wonāt match what Iāve done in that Octagon.
āIām really not impressed with you or your boy, Iāve seen you quit multiple times,ā he added. āAnd your boy almost got flat lined the last time he faced Alex. Both of you guys win your next fights, then Iāll be impressed. Until then, keep the name out of your mouth, thereās levels.ā
Letās be honest. Jones is 100x better than both of them lol
Jones vs Izzy would not be a competitive fight at all. Francis, other than raw power, offers nothing for Jones
Jones is easily the goat of MMA, heās just such a cocksucking piece of garbage where itās difficult to call him the goat even though he clearly is. Andy was my favorite fighter and Iām happy that fight never materialized lol. Jones has it all man and realistically heād probably be champ if he were 6ā2ā heās too good. Hopefully whoever he faces at heavy will put him to sleep though Iād really like to watch the fuck get finished.
Cowarddd!!!
