Fight of the Decade Canceled: Stipe Miocic Reveals Heartbreak Over Lost Jon Jones UFC Showdown

Miocic Devastated Over Canceled UFC 295 Bout with Jon Jones

In a shocking turn of events, the highly-anticipated UFC 295 heavyweight title fight between Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones, set for November 11 at Madison Square Garden, New York, has been scrapped. Jones sustained a torn pectoral muscle, sidelining him for eight months and leaving Miocic bereft of his “biggest career fight.”

Miocic, holding a record of 20-4 in MMA and 14-4 in the UFC, voiced his frustration over the cancellation. The matchup with Jones, who boasts an impressive 27-1 MMA and 21-1 UFC record, was a highlight of Miocic’s career, coinciding with UFC’s 30th anniversary celebrations.

The former UFC heavyweight champion was stark in expressing his disappointment.

“How did I feel when I woke up today? Like I got kicked in the nuts,”

Miocic disclosed on his OnlyFans account, recounting the morning he learned about the fight’s cancellation. Despite his readiness, Miocic wasn’t considered for the interim title fight, a decision that the UFC took in favor of a bout between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall.

Miocic reflects philosophically yet determinedly on the situation.

“It wasn’t my choice, it was theirs. Listen, everything happens for a reason. The fight being canceled, it sucks. No question about it. Unfortunately, that’s just the game we’re in. It happens. Like I said, I hope he’s okay. You want to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. I want that belt back. It’s my belt. It’s going to happen.”
