EXCLUSIVE
Jon Jones‘ wish to fight UFC heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic may come true … ’cause Stipe says he’s absolutely down … as soon as his body heals up.
Miocic joined the guys on the “TMZ Sports“ TV show (airs Monday night on FS1) — and was asked how he felt about Jon essentially calling him out on social media.
FYI, Jon tweeted after Stipe beat Alistair Overeem at UFC 203 … “I’m starting to realize the hype is real with that guy. He’s legit, it would be the challenge of a lifetime.”
Stipe heard the challenge — but didn’t respond with the vitriol of Daniel Cormier. Instead, he praised Jones … and essentially welcomed Dana White to make it happen.
There’s A LOT more in the full interview, which airs tonight on FS1.
