‘Francis Ngannou Is Going to Defeat Stipe Miocic’- Gilbert Burns Gives A Bizarre Statement on Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones

There are a lot of interesting fights that MMA fans can look forward to in 2021. One such fight is Jon Jones’ debut at heavyweight. ‘Bones’  Jones had been terrorizing the light heavyweight division for the better part of a decade. At 33, he relinquished his title at 205-pounds and decided to move up to challenge himself. 

However, a move up will not be easy given the likes of Curtis Blaydes, Stipe Miocic, and Francis Ngannou among others who will be tough opponents at heavyweight.

Gilbert Burns does not see a heavyweight move ending well for Jon Jones 

Gilbert Burns recently gave his thoughts on ‘Bones’ move to heavyweight on his YouTube channel. He said, “Jon Jones at heavyweight? Me, I don’t like that so much. When you have a guy like Francis Ngannou in the heavyweight division, I don’t know.”

Dana White recently confirmed that fans will have to wait till the second half of 2021 to see ‘Bones’ compete in the heavyweight division. The common consensus is that Jones will fight the winner of Stipe and Francis for the belt. 

However, if Jones were to take a tuneup fight before his move up, MMA fans can expect his heavyweight debut in the first half of 2021 itself. Curtis Blaydes takes on Derrick Lewis next month. The winner of that fight can be a good matchup for the former light heavyweight champion.
