Russian MMA fighter Vyacheslav Vasilyevsky told that the American fighter John Jones continues to remain the largest, even if it is no longer in the best condition.
At UFC 309 in New York, Jones, 37, defeated Stipe Miocic, 42, by third-round TKO to retain his heavyweight title. For Jones, this victory was the 28th of his career.
— I can’t say that the result was expected, because Miocic is also a very tough fighter and has defeated a lot of people. Jones once again showed his genius and originality, although, judging by his appearance, he is no longer in the best condition. It was a bit washed out, but even with that, its brilliant style couldn’t be hidden. You can’t tell if Jones’ best years are over or if he’s just living them now. He may not be as fast, sharp and lively as he was when he competed at lighter weight, but overall he’s still the same brilliant Jon Jones.
It would appear that Miocic conducted the fight as if he was serving a number, “going out for a check.” It seems to me that Jones just didn’t let him do anything, so Miocic stopped at one point and didn’t understand how to take the fight. It wasn’t Stipe who didn’t want it, it was Jones who didn’t give it.
“John proved once again that he is the greatest fighter of all time,” Vasilevsky told .
