Jon Jones’ upcoming heavyweight title fight against Stipe Miocic has been met with criticism from fans and experts alike. Here are three reasons why this bout is considered terrible, no good, and very bad for the UFC.
1. Size Disadvantage: Jones, a light heavyweight champion, is moving up to the heavyweight division to challenge Miocic, a natural heavyweight. Jones’ size disadvantage could lead to a one-sided fight in Miocic’s favor.
2. USADA History: Jones has a history of failed drug tests, which has led to multiple suspensions. His most recent suspension ended in October 2020, and some believe he doesn’t deserve a title shot so soon after.
3. Lack of Excitement: Many fans are not excited about this matchup, as they feel Jones doesn’t belong in the heavyweight division and that Miocic deserves better opponents.
