The fight gods appear to have no mercy on fans. The eagerly awaited comeback of Stipe Miocic might be delayed or even dusted into oblivion now that Jon Jones has suffered a severe injury and is set to be sidelined for months. And to add more fuel to the fire, Miocic is hinting at retirement. The epic GOAT vs. GOAT matchup that was meant to wreak havoc at 295 now feels like it’s teetering on the edge. It’s almost as if the fight gods are playing a game of luck with the UFC.

In the midst of the uproar, a rather uncommon occurrence has left the combat community in a state of bewilderment. They were utterly astounded by the unfolding developments that included the infamous OnlyF*ns.

UFC’s Dana White took to Instagram to share some concerning news regarding Jon Jones. He revealed that Jones had recently experienced a torn pectoral tendon during a wrestling training session. White shared footage that featured Jones in a wrestling session with his training partner, only to halt and clutch his injured chest in obvious pain suddenly.

Stipe Miocic, who was already on the verge of retirement, is out of the equation with Jon Jones. Their fight has been replaced with Tom Aspinall vs. Sergei Pavlovich. However, Miocic uploaded a post on his Instagram handle that stated that he is on OnlyF*ns now. The post stated that he would be telling his backstage stories of his fighting days.

The interesting news took a different turn as fans were divided on the approach. “Ufc needs to pay stipe Miocic more, the hw goat shouldn’t be on of,” stated one fan. As he was a UFC champion, people couldn’t digest the fact that the fighter had to go the OF route.

However, some fans loved his approach. He last fought Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 in March 2021. “Bros missing for years , comes back with only fans . I love it”

The fans are clearly perplexed by this abrupt turn of events. However, there is some good news. As revealed by Dana White, Miocic versus Jones can still happen!
