American Stipe Miocic most likely, will refuse a duel with a compatriot John Jones at the UFC tournament, he will be replaced by a Russian Sergei Pavlovich considers ONE light heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Anatoly Malikhin .
On Friday, UFC chief Dana White announced that heavyweight champion Jones will face ex-champ Miocic on Nov. 11 in New York. Jones has 27 wins and one loss in MMA, while Miocic has 20 wins and four losses.
– 70-80% that Miocic will not come to the fight. I don’t know what the reason will be, but Seryoga will come as a replacement, and there will be a great fight for our country.
But if the duel between Miocic and Jones takes place… Miocic is 40 years old, the man has not fought for a long time. I don’t think he has that motivation. I think he has trouble training. In doing so, we have a 35-year-old Jones, who has smelled how to win heavyweight. So I think Jones will win by decision. No knockouts, just some sort of reception, the fight will go all five rounds and Jones will take the fight with confidence. Miocic would not find that enthusiasm in him and sank to defeat Jones. This fight has been developed for too long,” Malykhin told .
Jones tops the UFC rankings regardless of weight class. Starting off on a six-game winning streak in the first round, Pavlovic sits at the top of the heavyweight rankings, Miocic sits third.
