Rumored According to Tom Aspinall, Stipe Miocic turned down interim title-fight against Pavlovich

I don't blame Stipe. Why risk the bag from fighting Jones by taking a fight you'll likely lose.

Sounds like the UFC told Aspinall that Stipe declined to juice him up so that he would take the fight.

I don't blame Stipe if he did. The UFC seems to really want Jones vs Stipe and it's the biggest money for both of them before they retire. Having said that Stipe says the UFC didn't ask him to fight a replacement and decided on their own to shelf both for next year when Jones is healthy.

Yea.

Stipe aint coming off the firestation couch for that shit.
