The story of the tape

Jon Jones (27-1-0): The Comeback King

After a three-year hiatus, Jones roared back in spectacular fashion at UFC 285, submitting Ciryl Gane in the first round to claim the heavyweight crown. Now 37 years old and fresh from a torn pectoral muscle, “Bones” is ready to prove he’s still the baddest man in the octagon.

Jones is a Swiss Army Knife of a fighter, with precise striking, elite grappling and a knack for submissions that have left many opponents tapping the canvas in frustration. Oh, and let’s not forget his 4.5-inch reach advantage over Miocic – another tool in the arsenal of the most decorated fighter in UFC history.

Stipe Miocic (20-4-0): The heavyweight goat

Don’t count Stipe out, though. The 41-year-old firefighter-by-day and punching machine-by-night is widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight in UFC history. Yes, he’s been out of action since a tough second-round KO loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260, but if anyone can assert himself after a layoff, it’s Miocic.

Stipe’s strategy? Keep it standing and turn this match into a brawl. With elite boxing and the ability to pick up victories in wars of attrition, he is more than capable of shocking the world.
