Conor McGregor says Stipe Miocic could "trouble" Jon Jones
Conor McGregor believes former champion Stipe Miocic will be a challenging fight for the reigning heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
After his stellar heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane, which he won via first-round submission, Jones will now make his maiden heavyweight title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden.
During a recent interview with Adam Glyn, the Irishman opined that Miocic, who is widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight of all time, does possess the necessary skill set to put 'Bones' in trouble:
"Jones [vs.] Miocic [is] a great heavyweight bout. Jon proved his worth in the heavyweight division [and] Stipe, they say, is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Yeah, now I’m interested to see how that will go. Has he been training as well? He's got some things that could trouble Jon. And Jon is Jones. I'm excited to see it."
