Stipe Miocic: 'I'm going to do what I want to do' at UFC 309 against Jon Jones

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic says he won’t wait for Jon Jones to implement his gameplan in the UFC 309 main event.

Stipes corpse maintained it will "do whatever he wants" in the Jones fight. Doesn't seem too likely but at least he's confident in himself even if nobody else is. Anyone at all picking Stipe? I see this as easy money for Jones and essentially a cop out of a fight.

 

[Luthien]

Good that he is confident War Stipe

 

[Xoleth]

Yes, of course, Stipe!

 

[Jarilo]

Imo he will try to close the distance and box Jon, he will not be that worried for td becourse he is wrestler himself.
I dont see any other path for Stipe, but if it goes that way, the fight will be pretty intense for round or two.
I am not completely writting Stipe off, he lives healty life, probably still has some power and endurance, also didnt have that many injuries true out carrer.
Speed and reflex can be problems, but he is not fighting blitzkrieg Tom so here is that.
But on the other hand I think Jon will try to graplle, and choke Stipe.

Stipe has an unbelievable record, probably the goat however he has been out too long.

Jones gets this done handily.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Stipe probably the goat

lol

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

If he does what he says I'll be amazed.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

lol

Can’t think of anyone with a better record.

Jds
Werdum

Jones is going to make quick work of him and then retire unfortunately.

I just want this fight to be done already, it's way overdue. About 5-6 years too late.

 

[blaseblase]

Yeah, thats why Stipe refused to fight any of the contenders for the past 4 years and literally has no wins over anyone currently in the UFC.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Unfortunately Stipe gets stopped in the first

 

[Luthien]

Imagine Stipe dancing over the unconscious body of Jones while Dana goes RED '.'

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

Not sure who is gonna win but regardless it will be the fans that lose.

Both fighters are done after this. Waste of a last fight

 

[MarioLemieux]

Stipe is being hugely underestimated and it will line my pockets with gold.

Pillowfisted Jon is going to meet true HW power, boxing and TDD.

The best UFC HW ever. Prime Stipe lost to Struve lol. Sure all those wins you listed are impressive but he also lost to Jds, DC and Francis ( those last 2 badly ). Your L’s are part of your record and will have an impact on your goat eligibility.

Btw I like Stipe and I sincerely hope that he lands a hail mary on Jones to win. Would be glorious.

I hope he can pull it off, would be a great walk off into the sunset moment.

It wasn’t stipe’s fault that Francis chose the b league rather than face him in the trilogy when they were one one.
