Stipe Miocic picks Francis Ngannou over Jon Jones in heavyweight debate
Stipe Miocic recently weighed in on the debate between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou, giving his pick during an interview with The Schmo. Having shared the octagon with both men, Miocic's perspective carries weight, and he ultimately sided with Ngannou.

Miocic said:
"Well, Francis, yeah, you know he has got great power. He is getting better with every fight. With Jones, you know, he is one of the best of all times, if not the best of all time. He is just smart and tricky, but Francis he always comes with a game plan, also he's got thunder in his fists.
"It's a tough fight. Jon would keep his distance. He will do well, you know, get him down to the ground, you know, but if Francis connects... all over."
