Chosen to star in one of the most anticipated duels today, Jon Jones e Stipe Miocic face each other in November, for the UFC heavyweight title (up to 120,2kg). After a long wait, the Croatian opened the game and spoke about his expectations for the meeting with the North American. Former champion of the category, the fighter who is also a firefighter, is eager to regain the division title.
“November 11th, I was waiting for this day. It's the fight I want, it's the fight he wants, there's nothing better. I'm ready. I'm very excited. I can't wait for November 11th, I hope it comes sooner. I think it's just the two styles (that make the match) exciting. Styles make combinations, and I think we have two great styles to make for an energetic fight, lots of fireworks. I think it's going to be an absolutely incredible fight. I’m going to get ahead and show a lot of people that I deserve to be heavyweight champion,” said Miocic in an interview with ESPN.

Inactive for more than two years, Stipe seeks to recover from the defeat suffered by Francis Ngannou. Considered by Jon Jones As the greatest heavyweight in history, Miocic appears in bookmakers as a big underdog for the clash in the UFC 295.
Determined to make history, Jones will defend the new category belt for the first time on November 11, on the fight's grand stage, Madison Square Garden, in New York (USA). At 36 years old, the sports icon stated that it will be his last performance before hanging up his gloves.
