UFC heavyweight veteran Derrick Lewis expressed confidence that division champion Jon Jones will defeat former titleholder Stipe Miocic early in their upcoming fight.
"I think Jones will beat Stipe in the first round. It's crazy to see a lot of people disrespecting Jones like he's not the greatest fighter of all time.
A lot of people keep discussing the P4P rankings. It's weird how many guys keep getting there after showing only a few top-level fights," MMA Weekly quoted Lewis as saying.
Recall, the fight between Jones and Miocic will be the main event of the tournament UFC 309, which will take place on the night of November 17 in New York, USA.
