UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic is offended that he is not be offered a fight against UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
Jones has recently shown interest in fighting former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. However, Jones hasn’t shown interest in moving up to heavyweight in order to fight the champion.
Miocic has won all three of his title fights by knockout in the first round. He is also one title defense away from breaking the UFC record for most consecutive title defenses in the heavyweight division.
During an interview with FloCombat, Miocic seemed offended by Jones not thinking he was relevant enough for a super fight.
“Listen, I’ll fight anyone. If the UFC wants me to fight Jon, I’ll fight him,” Miocic said. “All I care about right now is breaking that record, winning now and keeping the belt for a long time. I think I am relevant. I don’t know what he’s talking about. I don’t have as many fans as him on social media maybe, but I’m pretty sure I’m relevant.
“I’m the baddest man on the planet for a reason. He can think what he wants, whatever. Listen, at the end of the day I am relevant. Yeah definitely, I’m a bigger risk 100 percent than Brock Lesnar. There’s no question.”
