Henry Cejudo lays down a plan for Stipe Miocic against Jon Jones

‘Triple C’ has come to the aid of the former UFC heavyweight champion. Henry Cejudo in his podcast revealed the strategy that will be effective against ‘Bones’. He revealed, “You’re going to have to wrestle him.”

Furthermore, the former double champion added, “So that’s the only thing that I could see Stipe Miocic doing, because his hands, he’s not faster than Jon. He’s got hands; he did get a chance to stop Cormier with the body shot. Jon’s just different. Jon has a different length. Jon recognizes distance a lot better than somebody like DC. The only plan that I see Stipe Miocic going up against Jon is going to be called wrestling… and good luck with that.”

Clearly, Cejudo thinks that the way for Stipe to regain his title from the current champ is through wrestling.

Cejudo stated that Miocic “gets better as the fight goes on”. Furthermore, the latters endurance was also pointed out by the former double champion.

‘Triple C’ added, “the greatest gift that he has is his threshold and endurance. But against a guy like Jon Jones, you need all that and some. I’m going Jon Jones, no more than three (rounds).”

However, Cejudo predicted that Jon Jones will win the fight in the first three rounds. Certainly, Cejudo‘s word should be taken as he masterminded Jones’ victory at UFC 285.
