Check out Jon Jones' highlights below:
'Bones' holds a pro record of 26 wins against one loss and one no-contest. The former light heavyweight champion last fought in the UFC more than two years ago at UFC 247, where he secured a unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes.
Miocic also has an enviable record of 20 wins against four losses. The 40-year-old holds the record for the most heavyweight title defenses in the UFC, having defended the belt four times during his two tenures as champion.
Watch Stipe Miocic's top finishes below:
In his most recent fight at UFC 260, Miocic suffered a brutal knockout loss against current champion Francis Ngannou.
If Ngannou is successful in his ongoing contract re-negotiations with the UFC, the promotion might very well pitch Jones against 'The Predator' instead.
When Daniel Cormier picked Jon Jones to win against Stipe Miocic
In a recent interview with TheMacLife, former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier suggested that Stipe Miocic would have a tough night against Jon Jones in a potential fight.
Cormier, who has faced both men in the octagon during his career, stated that he is unsure whether Miocic can get past the former light heavyweight kingpin:
"When I lost to Jon Jones, I did everything in the rematch... and I lost [again]. And I did everything possible in that rematch to win... I feel like if I had fought Stipe Miocic as prepared as I was in the second fight with Jon Jones, I never would lose to him... I just think that the matchup is not good for him [Miocic]... I don't know if, when I look at these two, if Miocic gets past Jones. I don't like Jones but he can fight."
