“When I was starting with the UFC, I said I was here for one thing and that was the heavyweight title. I didn’t know how long it was going to take. Every fight has made me a better fighter. I’ve had a few bumps in the road that I think have made me stronger. I’m just happy where I’m at. I’m getting better every day and I’ve got still a lot of time left in my career,” Miocic told UFC.com.
Stipe Miocic favored to win a potential fight against Jon Jones; Jones feels otherwise
Miocic fought his last fight against Daniel Cormier. He extended his record to 19-3-0 with a TKO victory over Cormier. The win also inflicted recent betting trends that showed odds in favor of Miocic in a potential super-fight against Jon Jones. Jones, however, did not agree and believed that he could beat Miocic.

And I want to strike while I’m feeling hot.”
