The anticipation for the fight between the two UFC heavyweight titans, Jon Jones, and Stipe Miocic, is slowly but surely building. Both colossal heavyweights appear to be in excellent condition as they approach the fight with confidence. Jones returned to the UFC and beat Ciryl Gane to retake the top spot, this time in the Heavyweight division. Miocic, on the other hand, would be making his first appearance in the octagon since he was knocked out by Francis Ngannou in his previous fight.

It is certain that, given the chance, both fighters would have a lot to say about their feud. The same scenario got witnessed when in the escalating conflict, Stipe Miocic made a brief but brave speech.

Miocic is no different from an eager opponent when you take into account how much confidence he possesses. He made it clear through his statements how he intends to confront ‘Bones’. Miocic has also made some strong claims about the fight in the past. Considering the stature of Jon Jones, it won’t be easy for Miocic to hit the milestone.

UFC 295 will be a pivotal point for both these UFC stars. Considering their past achievements, a win against the other will be the cherry on top for both fighters. So what are the possibilities for UFC 295?

What to expect from UFC 295?

There is a reason people call Stipe Miocic the UFC heavyweight GOAT. He has achieved important triumphs over prominent combatants like Junior dos Santos, Fabricio Werdum, Alistair Overeem, and Daniel Cormier (twice). The two-time UFC heavyweight champion also has a record for the most consecutive title defenses in the 265 lbs division. He defended the belt thrice before losing it to Cormier and winning it back and defending it a career fourth time.

Meanwhile, Jones has been one of the most destructive and dominant forces in MMA throughout his career. His resume speaks for itself and his recently winning Miocic’s old title has skyrocketed his legacy. He has even hinted at retiring after beating the divisional great Miocic.

At 40 years of age, fans will have to wait and see if Miocic will be able to tame the forever wild ‘Bones.’ What do you think? Who will eventually stand tall? Let us know in the comments.
