Sean Strickland offers to be Stipe Miocic’s ‘Punching bag’ for summer UFC fight with Jon Jones

UFC middleweight Sean Strickland is looking to help build the confidence of Stipe Miocic ahead of his showdown against Jon Jones.

Jon Jones vacated his light heavyweight throne in 2020 and remained inactive until 2023. Prior to that, he had set the UFC record for wins in UFC light heavyweight title fights at a whopping 14.

In 2023, he returned to the octagon and captured the vacant heavyweight throne with a first-round submission against Ciryl Gane. Next, he has set his sites on the former heavyweight king Stipe Miocic.
