Jon Jones is predicted to return to the Octagon at UFC 309 on November ninth at Madison Sq. Backyard for a long-awaited showdown with former heavyweight kingpin Stipe Miocic.
Whereas UFC CEO Dana White want to see Tom Aspinall function the backup for the ‘Jones vs. Miocic’ bout, the ‘Honey Badger’ has a completely different thought in thoughts for November’s pay-per-view occasion.
“Right here’s a thought for you. I used to be enthusiastic about this the opposite day. What about, in order that they’re saying that Stipe and Jon Jones are going to struggle at MSG in November. Why don’t we do a event, we’ll do Jon vs. Stipe and Me vs. Alex, and do a full-on event. Two fights in a single evening and let’s discover out who the actual heavyweight champion of the world is.”
Do you suppose we’ll ever see Jones and Aspinall collide within the Octagon? Who do you suppose would win?
