Jon Jones mentioned that getting injured is a part of an athlete’s life. However, that hasn’t made his wish to fight Stipe Miocic fade away. He is committed to that heavyweight showdown. “I guess it will be Stipe and I at a later date, and that’s my plan. So it will be surgery and physical therapy for me for the next several months. But I’m committed,” said Jones. We will have to wait and see how long he will be out of action.

McGregor weighs in on Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury

Conor McGregor recently shared a voice clip on Twitter (X), confirming that he will be in Saudi Arabia to witness the Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury fight. He believes that Mike Tyson‘s presence in the corner of the former UFC champion could prove to be an important factor in the fight. McGregor said, “Mike Tyson in the corner, that type of style could be a kryptonite of a long-range and distance type of fighter in Tyson Fury.”

McGregor also stated that Tyson Fury may not let Francis Ngannou test him too much. ‘The Predator’ is a big individual and has the potential to change the fate of the fight. “I don’t think Tyson’s gonna wanna let him test, let Francis test his power on him,” said ‘The Notorious.’ It remains to be seen how things pan out this weekend in Riyadh.
