Jon Jones predicts early finish of Stipe Miocic in UFC 295 title fight: ‘Do not count out a first round submission’

Returning from a three-year-plus hiatus with a stunning first round submission victory back in March, incumbent heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has urged fans and event opponent Stipe Miocic to not rule out him searching for a second straight submission stoppage at UFC 295 – as he prepares for the November clash with Miocic, alongside grappling phenom, Gordon Ryan.

Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion, minted himself as the heavyweight champion back in March atop a UFC 295 card in March, landing a wholly dominant first round guillotine choke submission win over former interim champion, Ciryl Gane.
