Jon Jones Says He’s Preparing to Fight Stipe Miocic at UFC 282

If it’s up to Jon Jones, the former light heavyweight champ will make his highly-anticipated Octagon return before the end of the year.

Jones revealed Tuesday via Twitter that he is training to face Stipe Miocic at UFC 282 on Dec. 10. “Bones” also indicated that any potential holdup isn’t coming from his side.

“I’m preparing to fight Stipe December 10 in Las Vegas,” Jones wrote. “Not really sure what’s going on between Stipe and the UFC but I’m ready to compete! I’m going to control what I can and stay in shape.
