In a recent interview when asked who he thought would win in a fight between Jones and Miocic, fellow heavyweight Curtis Blaydes said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI would pick Stipe [Miocic] to win (against Jon Jones]. Just because he&#8217;s been in five-round heavyweight fights multiple times and he&#8217;s shown one-punch power when he knocked out Fabricio [Werdum, when he knocked out Alistair [Overeem]&#8230;. He has the wrestling, he has the conditioning. I just believe he&#8217;s a smart enough fighter,he&#8217;ll be able to figure out Jon after two or three rounds. He&#8217;ll start to land. His punches are going to hurt more than the punches of Jon Jones. That&#8217;s just what i think. I think it could go either way.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jon Jones hits back at his haters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Bones\u2019 took to social media to bash Blaydes for his recent comments.
