"I wanted to outclass Stipe. He beat Daniel Cormier with a left hook to the liver, and I wanted to shake him, but once I felt his jab, I changed my mind about deflecting to the left, under his right hand, because if you miss one of his straights, it could end the night. And so instead of body hooks, I started hitting straight leg kicks, reversal kicks and punching jabs. And it worked great," Jones said at the press conference.
Last night in the main event of UFC 309 in New York, USA, Jones knocked out Miocic in the third round.
