"The goal is to get surgery tomorrow and get back to work as soon as possible. I guess it will be Stipe and I at a later date and that's my plan. So it will be surgery and physical therapy for me for next several months but I'm committed and my head is high. I thank everyone who has prayed for me."

Dana White reveals why Stipe Miocic didn't remain on the UFC 295 card after Jon Jones' withdrawal
After Jon Jones pulled out of his UFC 295 bout against Stipe Miocic, the UFC was quick to announce an interim heavyweight championship bout between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall.
The announcement led to many people wondering as to why Stipe Miocic is not fighting for an interim heavyweight championship. During a recent Power Slap press conference, Dana White revealed that it would be disrespectful to ask Miocic to fight for an interim title. He said:
"You have the greatest heavyweight of all time versus the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. This is a legacy fight for both of those guys. I mean, to even call Stipe and ask Stipe to fight for an interim title is, you know, complete disrespect."
