Russian heavyweight Kirill Sidelnikov in a conversation with suggested that Sergei Pavlovich already in November he will fight for the UFC heavyweight belt, since in a pair between the Americans John Jones And Stipe Miocic “something will happen.”
On Saturday, UFC chief Dana White officially announced that heavyweight champion Jones will face ex-champ Miocic on Nov. 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.
– The fight is scheduled for November. Personally, I do not exclude that this fight assures Seryoga. And something has to happen, because it won’t happen by itself. Serega must fight for the title. Most likely with Jon Jones. That’s my opinion,” Sidelnikov 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.
