Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are officially set to headline UFC 295 in November.
The pair of generational talents will do battle for the heavyweight title, and former champion Francis Ngannou believes that Miocic will provide a stiff test for 'Bones'.
Ngannou, who departed the UFC earlier this year, has faced Miocic twice. Having lost the first bout via unanimous decision, 'The Predator' worked on his weaknesses and defeated Miocic via KO in their second bout at UFC 260.
Francis Ngannou stated that Stipe Miocic is still the most dangerous fighter in the heavyweight division during a recent interview with TMZ Sports. 'The Predator' spoke about the matchup between Jones and Miocic, saying:
"It's gonna be tough for Jones. I think we all don't give the credit that is due to Stipe. Stipe is not having enough credit. For me, he's still the guy at heavyweight. He's still the most challenging guy in the heavyweight division. If you get to fight Stipe, tell yourself that you are fighting for the world title."
