We’re just days away from the biggest fight in UFC heavyweight history with current champ Jon Jones defending his title against former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 309.
It doesn’t mean Jones isn’t still getting plenty of bulletin-board material.
The UFC released it’s ‘Countdown’ show for UFC 309 with Miocic talking about being called out by Jones following the current champ’s win over Cyril Gane.
“Bring it on, b*tch,” said Miocic.
“Bring it on, b*tch.”

Jones (27-1) posted on his Instagram story a video showing Miocic calling him a ‘b*tch’ twice. Jones didnt take it well.
“See, the disrespect. You calling me a b*tch, Stipe. The disrespect didn’t have to happen,” Jones says in the video.
“You’re going to wish you didn’t say that.”
Jones has a history of finding little things to get himself hyped up. From trash talk when he fought Chael Sonnen to the very heated rivalry with Daniel Cormier it’s never been hard for Jones to find something to grab onto.
Jon Jones also responded in a now-deleted post on X.
“Hiring black fighters to mimic me will not help you Stipe. And you shouldn’t have called me a b*tch, the disrespect wasn’t necessary. Let’s play. #UFCCountdown.”
