Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic shared his emotions on social media after his fight against Jon Jones at UFC 295 in New York (USA) was derailed.
How did I feel when I woke up today? Like I got kicked in the nuts. In the morning, I woke up to my phone vibrating - it was a text message from my manager saying my fight was off. I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night. Unfortunately, that happens. It’s part of the game. Do I fight somebody else? I don’t know.
Miocic last fought in March 2021 against Francis Ngannou at UFC 260. That fight was stopped in the second round and ended in a knockout loss for Stipe. He has 20 wins and four losses on his record.
Jones last stepped into the octagon against Ciryl Gane in March 2023 at UFC 285. In this confrontation, Jones won by first-round choking submission and won the heavyweight championship belt. He has 27 wins and one loss on his record.
