Jon Jones backed to handily beat Stipe Miocic in expected UFC title mismatch: ‘He waxes him’

Off the back of his dominant heavyweight championship victory at UFC 285 last month, Jon Jones has been touted to handily defeat former division champion, Stipe Miocic ahead of an expected title outing, according to ONE Championship gold holder, Demetrious Johnson.

Jones, a former two-time light heavyweight titleholder under the UFC banner, headlined UFC 285 back in March in a vacant heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane, submitting the Frenchman with a first round guillotine choke.

The victory propelled Jon Jones to his fifth consecutive victory, first at heavyweight, and marked his return to active competition for the first time since 2020.
