Francis Ngannou Picks Stipe Miocic to Beat Jon Jones at UFC 295
UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou has made his prediction for the upcoming title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic at UFC 295.
Ngannou, who fought Miocic twice, believes that the former champion has the edge in the matchup.
"I would pick Stipe," Ngannou told CBS Sports. "Stylistically, Stipe. Stipe doesn't get the credit he deserves. Obviously, I won the second time, still I know that I could have lost that time. I know how good of a fighter he is. He fought 'DC' three times and you can see how he fought."
Ngannou also believes that the heavyweight division will be a challenge for Jones.
"This is also a different weight class for Jon Jones," Ngannou said. "This is heavyweight and I think it's slightly different than light heavyweight. I agree that Jon Jones is the best at light heavyweight, but I think at heavyweight he definitely will be challenged."
Miocic is the most successful heavyweight champion in UFC history, with three title defenses. He hasn't fought since losing his title to Ngannou in March 2021.
Jones is the former UFC light heavyweight champion and is widely considered to be one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. He is making his heavyweight debut at UFC 295.
The fight between Jones and Miocic is one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history. It is a clash of two legends, and the winner will be crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
