Amid speculation over the potential injuries instore for former heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic off the back of his knockout loss to Jon Jones at UFC 309 over the weekend, his manager has confirmed the Ohio veteran suffered no “broken bones” following the defeat.
Miocic, a former two-time undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the promotion, headlined last weekend’s Madison Square Garden card in New York against heavyweight kingpin, Jones, snapping a three-year plus hiatus from action.
And eventually suffering a devastating third round spinning back-kick to the body knockout defeat to Jones, Stipe Miocic was slumped over immediately via the strike, with the champion following up with a slew of ground strikes to finish the bout.
