Jon Jones made his unforgettable comeback after a grueling three-year hiatus from the octagon. He silenced doubters by defeating Ciryl Gane and claiming the coveted UFC heavyweight championship at UFC 285. Jones is currently slated to face heavyweight royalty Stipe Miocic in his next bout. The mere mention of this potential clash has ignited a frenzy among fight enthusiasts, as they eagerly anticipate a clash of titans. While ‘Jonny Bones’ has long reigned as a dominant force in the sport, there’s a growing belief that the 40-year-old, with his exceptional skills and divisional experience, could pose a serious threat to the throne.

But the fight seems to have not found any grounds for materialization as of yet. In the midst of it, yet another heavyweight’s recent display of credentials has prompted fans to hail him as a title-shot-worthy heavyweight.

Basking in the glory of his triumph, the Russian fighter took to his Twitter account to share the exhilarating news with his fans.
