Jon Jones says he’s ‘preparing to fight’ Stipe Miocic at UFC 282, unsure of ex-champ’s status

As far as Jon Jones is concerned, he’s fighting former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic before the year is over – and he’s training accordingly.

Jones made that crystal clear Tuesday when he responded to a fan’s question on Twitter asking when he’ll return to the octagon.

“I’m preparing to fight Stipe December 10 in Las Vegas,” Jones tweeted. “Not really sure what’s going on between Stipe and the UFC but I’m ready to compete! I’m going to control what I can and stay in shape.”
