Stipe Miocic claims Jon Jones is ‘Beatable’ ahead of UFC 309 title fight: ‘I will be the first to do it’

Expected to finally make good on his heavyweight return at UFC 309 in November, former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic has claimed expected incoming foe, Jon Jones is most definitely “beatable” – and believes he will become the first fighter to legitimately beat the former.

Miocic, a former undisputed heavyweight champion twice under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined for the last three years, most recently taking on fellow former champion, Francis Ngannou in the pair’s title fight rematch.

And dropping his crown, Ohio veteran, Miocic suffered a thunderous second round knockout loss to the Cameroonian, and has remained sidelined from competition in the time since.
