Jon Jones said he doesn't want a matchup against Stipe Miocic in a series of deleted tweets captured by Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie.
After UFC president Dana White discussed a potential bout between the two veterans with ESPN's Brett Okamoto, Jones indicated in the now-deleted tweets he is seeking a bigger draw:
"Don't get excited people, I'm not fighting Stipe.
"I'm not here to fight Stipe but I will defend my belt against him no problem. I’m looking for the biggest draw and I’m willing to wait. 33 years old in better athlete right now than I've ever been before.
