Despite being one of the smaller UFC heavyweights, Stipe Miocic managed to rule the division for years as one of its best ever champions. On his 2019 title bout with Daniel Cormier, Miocic even weighed in at a career low 230.5 lbs. Those days are now over, says Chris Weidman.
With talks about a possible bout against Jon Jones, who has spent the last couple of years bulking up, Weidman says it’ll be a mistake for the former light heavyweight champion to assume he’ll be bigger and stronger than Miocic.
“I see Jon Jones really working to gain size and Stipe was smaller,” Weidman told The Schmo (transcript via MMA Mania).
