According to Alex Pereira, both he and Jon Jones reached a surprise agreement after meeting at the Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday. UFC 306 was one of the most special events in the promotion’s history. The show’s stature only elevated after news of a deal between Jones and Pereira came to light.

After much speculation, the heavyweight champion’s return to the UFC is now confirmed. The 37-year-old will defend his title against Stipe Miočić in what many expect to be his last fight inside the octagon. Sitting next to each other at UFC 306 last weekend, ‘Bones’ and Alex Pereira agreed to train together. Despite the Brazilian’s wish to move up a weight class and establish himself as a three-division champion, it doesn’t look like the opportunity will arrive against Jones.

During a talk with Full Send MMA, Pereira revealed more details, stating that he could help Jones prepare for his upcoming clash against Stipe Miočić. He said, “We’ve been talking a little bit about training together for a long time, but I think now it’s going to happen. His fight’s going to be in November. Every time you leave a fight, it takes a week or two to recover from small injuries. But I think I’ll have enough time to go over there.”

Nevertheless,  Stipe Miočić doesn’t care who Bones trains with. He has been giving his all in his training sessions. The former heavyweight king is already an enormous man, standing tall at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing around 240 pounds. Allaying concerns over his inactivity and age, Stipe recently took to Instagram to share a picture of his muscular physique. This surely caught the attention of the MMA faithful.

As soon as the picture hit the internet, fans surely jumped in to share their reactions. In fact, it seems like fans got caught in a war of their own. While many shared their confidence in the American, some of his fans were still not confident in his skills.

Fans share their thoughts with Miocic

The moment Miocic uploaded the new picture, many fans were in awe of his physique. According to several fans, The baddest man on the planet looks in perfect shape to win the fight. As some fans commented, “Jon ain’t ready 🐐” and “Stipe comes to take some heads.” Other fans were simply confident in his skills and already predicted the outcome of the fight by calling him the new heavyweight champion of the UFC. As they wrote, “Everyone forgot who you are … time to remind them who’s the heavyweight goat 🐐 👏🔥”, “You can outsmart him, you will win. And new 🔥” and “Another one stipe!!! Another one!!!!”

However, some fans were still worried about him facing the MMA GOAT. While this fan claimed that Miocic truly is a great fighter but not good enough to grab a win, “Stipe is good but we all know what’s gonna happen 💔🥲” another fan offered money to Miocic, asking him to drop out of the fight and avoid a loss, “Stipe how much to fake an injury?”

Well, it seems like fans are truly divided about the outcome of the fight. While fans of Bones would like him to hang his gloves with his head held up high with a win, fans of Miocic would want him to dethrone the greatest MMA fighter of all time. What do you think? Will Miocic be able to dethrone Bones? Let us know in the comments.
