Heavyweight champion Jon Jones places his title on the road for the primary time within the UFC 309 important occasion towards former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic. It is a match between arguably the best fighter of all time and probably the most achieved heavyweight champion in UFC historical past.
Miocic will enter the battle as an enormous underdog, however former middleweight champion Michael Bisping warns Jones, and followers, to not overlook the 42-year outdated Miocic.
“I am telling you proper now, everyone seems to be overlooking Stipe Miocic, and these persons are completely out of their minds,” Bisping stated on his YouTube channel. “Jon Jones is a -600 favourite. Stipe Miocic is a +440 underdog… This man is an enormous underdog. He’s being ignored, disrespected, utterly forgotten about within the heavyweight division.”
“Persons are underestimating Stipe Miocic, and why is that? It is as a result of the final time we noticed Stipe Miocic was UFC 260, March 2021 on the UFC Apex when he went up towards Francis Ngannou. Everyone knows how that ended,” Bisping continued. “That is what folks keep in mind. This sport is about what have you ever performed for me currently. Folks neglect all the things Stipe did.
“Folks neglect that Stipe, on paper, is the best heavyweight to ever battle within the UFC’s octagon. He defended the belt 3 times which is one thing the no person else has ever performed,” Bisping identified.
Bisping believes Miocic could profit from the years away from the cage and expects to see a motivated Miocic at UFC 309.
“This man feels disrespected. He feels ignored. He is aware of your entire world is speaking about Jon Jones, will he or will not he battle Tom Aspinall, the interim champ. Do not inform me that does not piss you off. If you’re someone like Stipe Miocic, a proud man, a really succesful man, a former champion, a two-time heavyweight champion of the world and persons are simply overlooking you. Jesus Christ, that may be a highly effective motivator.”
