Next month at UFC 309, he’s set to square off with none other than Jon Jones. ‘Bones’ is the current UFC heavyweight champion, but Miocic is aiming to regain the belt that was taken from him by Francis Ngannou.

In a recent interview with Jake Paul, Stipe opened up on how he feels heading into such a blockbuster occasion at Madison Square Garden.

Miocic is pumped for Jones fight

“I’m excited, honestly,” Miocic said on “BS w/ Jake Paul.” “It’s finally here. It was supposed to happen last year, unfortunately an injury took it away, but here we are. We’re three weeks away. I’m ready, man. I’ve been pumped. I keep quiet. I focus on task at hand, just worry about my fight. That’s all I worry about.”

“Jon Jones does a lot of things good, but I have great coaches, great teammates, and they make me prepared for whatever happens,” Miocic said. “I’m not going to wait for what he’s going to do, I’m going to do what I want to do.”
