Jon Jones is outraged by "old timer" Stipe Miocic's 'running' claims
At UFC 285, Jon Jones made a remarkable comeback to the octagon and debuted in the heavyweight division. The former light heavyweight champion's performance was impressive as he defeated top contender Ciryl Gane in the first round, demonstrating his expertise in the heavyweight division.
Stipe Miocic recently commented on Jones' success in the heavyweight division. Miocic drew attention to the irony of the situation and suggested that Jones was avoiding a potential fight with him.
To which 'Bones' responded:
"I lay low for a few weeks and then you convince yourself that I’m afraid of you. Ha whatever you need to tell yourself old timer."
