This forced the French-Cameroonian to take leave from MMA in order to recover. Jones then shifted his focus towards Stipe Miocic who is another legend of the heavyweight division.
Miocic who lost his heavyweight title last year against Ngannou also showed interest in fighting Jones.The fight was scheduled in summer this year. However, according to Jones Stipe asked for a few more months to be fully prepared and Bones did agree to it. Bones revealed in a tweet that Miocic would be able fight in September.
“Stipe is saying that he will be at his absolute peak in September. I’m disappointed but patient, I want the heavyweight goat at his absolute best. I’ll wait until September. No excuses.”
