Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, two of the biggest names in the UFC heavyweight division, are set to square off in a highly anticipated title fight at UFC 309. The rivalry between these two elite fighters has been simmering for a while, and it just took a fiery turn. “Bones’ shot a fierce warning at his opponent after recent disrespectful comments from him.
In a recent countdown video for the upcoming event, Miocic didn’t hold back, boldly declaring, “Bring it on, b*tch!” He directed his words towards the reigning champion. The former champ’s disrespectful jibe clearly struck a nerve with the normally composed Jones, who didn’t take long to respond.
“See the disrespect, you calling me a b**ch, Stipe. The disrespect didn’t have to happen. You’re gonna wish you didn’t say that,” said Jones via Instagram story.
In an Instagram video, Jones fired back, saying, “See the disrespect, you calling me a b*tch, Stipe. The disrespect didn’t have to happen. You’re gonna wish you didn’t say that.” The heavyweight king didn’t stop there, taking to social media again to deliver an even more scathing message.
The background to this feud is equally intriguing. Jones, widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, has been on a relentless quest to cement his legacy in the heavyweight division. Miocic, on the other hand, is a former heavyweight champion himself, having held the title on two separate occasions. The stakes are high for this event as this could be a swan song for both of these fighters.

It’s no secret that Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the Octagon. His record is nearly impeccable, with a sole blemish coming from a controversial disqualification loss to Matt Hamill back in 2009. But it seems that Jones is now looking to potentially use the technique to his advantage against Miocic.
In newly released training footage, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion has been spotted honing his 12-to-6 elbow technique. This very same move that cost him the fight against Hamill all those years ago. It’s a bold and intriguing move, especially considering that the unified rules of MMA have since been updated, making the 12-to-6 elbow legal once again. It remains to be seen whether Jones’ newfound mastery of this technique will be a contributing factor in the upcoming fight.
