Set to snap his lenghty three-year plus hiatus from the Octagon this weekend, Stipe Miocic will do so sporting some custom shorts for his heavyweight title fight with Jon Jones — with the board shorts emblazoned with a black and grey mofit as well as a Croatian flag.
Miocic, who retains the number eight rank in the official heavyweight pile despite his long-time stay way from combat sports, has been sidelined since 2021, most recently reaching fellow former undisputed titleholder, Francis Ngannou.
And suffering a devastating second round loss, Miocic was finished with a brutal knockout by the Cameroonian, and spoke earlier this week of how he laments missing out on an attempted trilogy rubber match with the recent PFL (Professional Fighters League) debutante.
