We haven’t seen the now 40-year-old Miocic within the Octagon since his brutal knockout loss to Francis N’Gannou at UFC 260 in 2021, so who is aware of if the entire ring rust factor might be a difficulty. It clearly wasn’t a factor for Jones. I feel there are literally extra x-factors for Miocic right here than there are for Jones.
After all Jon goes to be an enormous betting favourite right here. We’ve by no means seen him actually lose. Stipe has completed nice issues at heavyweight. The best issues even. He can strike with the very best of them, and out-wrestle most. However we’ve seen him lose. We all know that he’s beatable. We are able to’t say the identical for Jones. Come what may, Jones has been simple.
