That's what Chael Sonnen said he's heard. I know. I know. You can't believe what Uncle Chael says. Look at me, I started a thread based on something so speculative. I'm a FOOL! However, Chael said he heard it from Ariel, although Ariel has not put the word out publicly.

Anyway, who would you take if the fight actually happens?



According to current Bellator fighter and ESPN analyst Chael Sonnen, ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani has caught wind of a potential fight between reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. While Helwani has yet to break the news of this matchup himself, Sonnen claims the veteran reporter has spilled the beans to him.

“When Ariel says he is ‘hearing talks’, Ariel knows,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel (via Pundit Arena). “Ariel is a journalist – he does not speculate, he says I’m hearing that both parties have agreed – or that both parties are interested, rather.

“Now listen to this one. Listen to what Ariel said. Jon Jones, at heavyweight, versus – and I know you’re all going to think I’ll say Daniel Cormier or Brock Lesnar, I’m not.

“Jon Jones versus Stipe Miocic. Woah! That got my attention. Really?

Figures.
Cormier gives Juicy Jones the blueprint for beating Stipe, then cheque-drops his way to success.
What a pussy.

He reminds me of the kid on the playground who stands in line to beat up the kid that just got beat up.
But also has a knife in his back pocket just in case.

Anything he can do to steal some of Cormier's shine, it's burning him up the success DC has achieved while he was suspended and his legacy tarnished

I repeat myself , Jones doesn't have ko power in his hands. He may think he can do the same , but it can turn out completely opposite.

they're buddies
allegedly...at least they are in different camps now

I just want a HW with decent reach to fight Jon...Stipe looks like he has short arms for such a large guy

I think Jones tasted Reem's power in camp and that is part of the reason he prefers to fight the LHWs

Chael is usually right with his info regarding fights/ rumours and they may use him to get the word out to get a feel for the interest level

They are listed at the same height 6' 4", but Stipe's reach is listed at 80" with Jones' at 84.5".

I may not respect Jon the man, but I sure as hell respect the balls he would have to have his first HW fight be against Stipe.

Stipe is obviously susceptible to eye-pokes, bet the farm on Juicy Jon

could also be letting some rumors slip through reliable channels to indicate to Conor that they'll get by without him.
