Jon Jones was not quite satisfied after he was beaten by an old rival for the title of MMA's 'Bathdest Man'.
In November at UFC 309, Jones Stipe Miocic played in a historic main event in Madison Square Garden. However, the dominant victory was not enough to have the legendary dual champion back to beat Francis Ngannou in a struggle for 'worst men' in the world.
Miocic shared the Octagon with both Jones and Ngannou over the years, even the Cameroonian a devastating loss of decision at UFC 220. He was eliminated by both, although it was considerably more devastating against Ngannou in 2021.
Stipe Miocic names Francis Ngannou above Jones in 'Bathdest Man' Battle
After he could have felt the power of both men and had known a number of large shots of his own shots, no one is more qualified than Stipe Miocic to choose between Jones and Francis Ngannou. He spent more than half an hour in the cage with them and gave his recording in a recent interview with the Schmo.
“Well Francis, you know, he has great power,” explained Miocic. “And he gets better every fight. With Jones he is good, one of the best of all time, if not the best of all time. He is smart, really difficult, but with Francis he always comes with a good game plan.
“But he also has thunder in his fists, so that's a tough fight. I think Jon would keep his distance, he would do well, bring him to the ground, but if Francis connects everywhere. “

Perhaps the most controversial part of Miocic's interview came when he was asked to actually choose who the 'worst man is on the planet'. He chose Jones and went for PFL's Ngannou, referring to his experience against top boxers such as Tyson Fury.
“I mean, I would go Francis,” he replied after he was put on site by the Schmo. “Only because he is doing great and with his boxing, I would go with Francis.”

This clearly revealed Jones, who went to Instagram to share a disappointed reaction of one word to Miocic's call. He shared an image that indicated the pick, and simply put it in 'natural'.
There had been a short feud to enter UFC 309, but it seemed to be over after fighting. However, it can be about to recover, given the reaction of Jones to Miocic's comments.
