Stipe Miocic has conquered the MMA mountain, and he’s defended the UFC heavyweight hill more times than anyone else.
Really, there’s just not a whole lot left for the former collegiate baseball player to do in combat sports.“What’s bigger than Jon Jones?” replied Miocic when asked recently by The Post why Nov. 11, after more than 2 ½ years away from the octagon, was the right time to fight again. “It’s what he wanted as well. I think it doesn’t get any bigger than that, especially at Madison Square Garden [on] Veteran’s Day. It’s awesome.
Jones may be both the most accomplished and the most talented fighter in the modern history of mixed martial arts, having gone unbeaten in 16 championship fights the past 12 years spent almost entirely as a light heavyweight before defeating Ciryl Gane in his March heavyweight debut for the vacant title.
Although possessing a well-rounded skill set, Jones leaned on his original wrestling base to snuff out Gane in just over 2 minutes to become the UFC’s eighth two-division champion.While Miocic “can’t really say much because it didn’t go that long” with regard to Jones’ performance as a heavyweight, he believes in his own takedown defense.
