Jackson: "Miocic will be the first to beat Jones"

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Janson expressed his opinion that Stipe Miocic is capable of knocking out the promotion's heavyweight division titleholder Jon Jones.

"Stipe will be the first one to beat him. I just think Jon may not have a strong enough chin judging by the way he fights. Because of his style, it's hard for people to get close enough to deliver a powerful punch to him.

His whole game is about poking his fingers in his eyes and hitting knee kicks without letting you get close. He keeps you at arm's length when he wants to. But Stipe is taller, and his arms are longer than most people John has had to fight. I don't think Jones' style will work in a fight with Miocic," MMA Fighting quoted Jackson as saying.
