Out of action since defending the light heavyweight title (up to 93kg.) against Dominick reyes, in February 2020, Jon seems to be strictly complying with the physical adaptation processes to measure his strength against the UFC giants. The athlete's idea is to make history and join the select list of athletes who have won two belts for the company.
Although the fight is not confirmed, Jon publicly revealed that the ideal opponent would be Stipe Miocic, legend of the category up to 120,2kg. In recent days, Jones revealed that his possible opponent had requested more time to prepare for the clash.
If 'Bones' hasn't performed in over two years, Stipe has also taken a considerable hiatus from professional fights. The North American's last performance represented an epic stumble before Francis Ngannou, in March 2021, which resulted in the veteran losing his category belt.
At 34 years old, Jon has 26 wins in 28 appearances as a professional in MMA. Miocic, 39, has 20 triumphs and four stumbles.
