Jon Jones will face Stipe Miocic in the first defence of his UFC heavyweight title after winning the belt against Ciryl Gane.
Jones, 35, spent over three years away from the cage but made a triumphant return at UFC 285 in Las Vegas to choke out Gane just over two minutes into their title fight. 'Bones' is now one of the few two-weight champions in UFC history and the consensus greatest fighter of all-time already has his next challenger lined up, as he will face former champion Miocic later this year.
"I don't know when, but he's definitely fighting Stipe," White said before adding of Jones: "Can anybody deny this guy is the goat anymore? Not only is he is the greatest light-heavyweight ever but he also looks like the greatest heavyweight ever too. The guy is unf****ng believable, he seriously is. There is no doubt Jon Jones is special, he's fought all the best competition out there."
