KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Dana White has confirmed Jon Jones’ teases of his first UFC heavyweight title defense against Stipe Miocic will take place in his home state of New York.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) posted some tweets on social media during Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 44 event said he’s ready and waiting for a clash with Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) to be scheduled, and it could potentially go down at Madison Square Garden in New York this fall (via Twitter):
How cool would it be to spend my retirement fight dominating the greatest heavyweight of all time, in my home state at Madison Square Garden?
