American mixed martial arts veteran, commentator and analyst Chel Sonnen is confident that former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has a realistic chance of winning a fight with current belt holder Jon Jones.
The famous Americans will fight on November 16 in the main event of UFC 309 in New York, USA.
"Sure, Stipe is old, but he's not much older than John. I wouldn't argue if you say Stipe is old by MMA standards. However, I would argue if you told me John is still young. Do you believe that John can just take Stipe down if he wants to? Just to remind you, Cormier in one of his fights with Stipe tried to move him twice. And Miocic fought off both attempts.
Next, do you think Jon Jones is capable of knocking out Stipe Miocic? Heavyweight is a place where size and power really matter. And I think that specifically in that aspect, the advantage is on Stipe's side. Am I wrong? So you're saying that Jon is better than Miocic in the standup?" - MMA Junkie quoted Sonnen as saying.
