Stipe Miocic aiming for return in December or January, would have fought Jon Jones

UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic believes he will return to action in either December or January, but he still doesn’t know who he will be pitted against when he looks to defend his title for the third time.

Back in July, MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani reported that Miocic would be sitting out until his contract was amended.

On the latest episode of The MMA Hour, Miocic revealed that the lines of communication had been opened with the promotion with a view to seeing him back in the Octagon before the end of the year or in early 2018.
