And retaining the number eight rank in the official heavyweight pile despite his hiatus, Ohio veteran, Stipe Miocic will take on Jones this weekend in a title headliner — with the latter sidelined since scooping vacant gold back in March of last year in a dominant submission over former champion, Ciryl Gane.
