UFC American Heavyweight Champion John Jones will win the victory over a compatriot Stipe Miocic in a match favorable to the league, after which he will end his career, and Russian Sergey Pavlovich will fight for the vacant title. The ASA heavyweight champion shared this opinion with Yevgeny Goncharov .
Earlier, UFC chief Dana White officially announced that heavyweight champion Jones will face ex-champ Miocic on November 12 in New York. Jones, 35, who previously held the UFC light heavyweight title, has 27 wins and one loss in MMA. Jones fought only one heavyweight fight – in March this year, the American defeated Frenchman Cyril Gan in the first round in a duel for the vacant UFC belt. Prior to that, Jones had not competed since the winter of 2020. Miocic, 40, has 20 wins and four losses. He fought his last fight in March 2021, when he lost to Francis Ngannou by second-round knockout and lost his UFC heavyweight belt.
– It’s an expected fight, everything has been done for this meeting to take place. It’s a money fight for the UFC, so they should definitely take this fight to New York, where Jones himself is from. According to his sign, it’s a very cool duel. We don’t know what state Miocic is in after the heavy knockout loss. Jones is not Ngannou, Jones cannot knock out. Jones’ strong point is wrestling, his kicks. And Miocic has good boxing, so the fight looks interesting. In my opinion, the odds are 70/30 in favor of Jones. Jon Jones will take this fight and end his career there. And Sergey Pavlovich will fight with the winner in a pair of Cyril Gan – Sergey Spivak for the vacant UFC belt. It will be a tough fight. By the way, Sergey Spivak can beat Gan. And imagine – Sergey Pavlovich against Sergey Spivak for a vacant belt. That would be cool,” Goncharov told .
Jones tops the UFC rankings regardless of weight class. Pavlovich is on the first row of the heavyweight rankings, Miocic is third.
