Not sure if this was posted already, but haven't seen it mentioned.
“Me and Jones have had that type of relationship his whole career. When he’s ready to fight we are ready to go. He’s talking about fighting at heavyweight,” Dana White said on the Nelk Boys’ Full Send podcast. “But, in the heavyweight division right now we are going back to Houston, Derrick Lewis is taking on Ciryl Gane and whoever wins that fight will fight Francis Ngannou. Whoever wins that fight, if Jon Jones wants to come back he can fight one of them. Or, he can fight Stipe Miocic. Stipe has accepted that fight and will take that fight.”
Seems more like the UFC asked Miocic if he would fight Jones and said "yes". So Miocic verbally agreed a while ago most likely.
It doesn't mean that this fight is currently on the table / ever been offered via contract
