Miocic: "Jones can be beaten. I'll be the one to do it."

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, despite his long downtime and solid age by MMA standards, has no doubt that he can take on current titleholder Jon Jones.

"Everyone thinks Jon Jones is going to beat me. I don't like to hear that, so I prefer to shut people up. Jon Jones can be beaten. I know that and I'll be the one to do it. My style is uncomfortable for Jon. This guy can do a lot of good things. Like keeping his distance, using his feet and working in the box. I know how to fight technically, but if necessary I can turn things into a brawl and make him vulnerable. It depends on who wants what. I don't like being told what to do, so I'll do what I want to do," Low Kick MMA quoted the American as saying.

Miocic and Jones are expected to fight later this year.
