Ahead of his undisputed heavyweight championship title fight with Stipe Miocic later this year, incumbent divisional best, Jon Jones has claimed he will have a “hard time sleeping” ahead of the bout, having been “humbled” by decorated grappler, Gordon Ryan during their recent grappling practice ahead of UFC 295.
Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight titleholder under the banner of the promotion, returned to the Octagon triumphantly following a three-year-plus lay-off back in March, submitting Ciryl Gane to clinch the vacant heavyweight crown with a stunning opening round guillotine choke submission win.
And slated to return to the Octagon next month in the main event of UFC 295 in November at Madison Square Garden, Jones takes on the returning former two-time champion, Miocic, in a highly-anticipated championship battle.
