Summary:
- UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones will take on Stipe Miocic at UFC 295
- Jones admitted that he is having nightmares about facing the former heavyweight champ
- Jon Jones likely to walk away from fighting after UFC 295
The UFC and President Dana White have built a reputation of putting together the best fights that the fans want to see. MMA fans from around the world were keen on seeing UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones fight former heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic and will get to see both stars in action at UFC 295.
UFC 295 will take place in Madison Square Garden, New York on Nov 11 and will be headlined by Jones vs. Miocic.
When Jon Jones enters into a training camp, he generally tends to go silent on social media and only resurfaces a week or two leading into the fight. Jones who is considered by hardcore MMA fans to be the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) decided to on the OverDogs podcast and be very transparent about his fight with Miocic at UFC 295.
Jones said during the podcast
At this point, I still get really nervous, man. I have nightmares about my opponents. About every hour, Stipe Miocic will cross my mind. He will cross my mind. I could be having a drink, you name it, he crosses my mind. I could be at my kid’s volleyball game and I thinking about Stipe. There’s a lot of mental that goes into it that I don’t think people realize. But the goal is to just conquer that.
Miocic is regarded by many to be the heavyweight GOAT but the 41 year old hasn’t fought in over 30 months and will also be nervous of facing Jon Jones.
Jones has said in the past that he could end up retiring after his fight against Miocic as he does not find any other names in the division big enough and appealing enough for him to keep fighting on.
Jones who is now 36 year old said at this stage in his career and life, he has to look at it from a business standpoint before deciding to sign on the dotted line and fight someone. He did acknowledge Tom Aspinall as a good prospect in the heavyweight division but wasn’t keen on fighting him, which could mean the last time fans get to see Jones fight will be at UFC 295.
