Stipe Miocic, after his loss to Jon Jones at UFC 309, was asked who he believes is the “Baddest Man on the Planet.” Miocic chose Francis Ngannou, praising his power and boxing skills. “I choose Francis because he’s been wrecking everyone,” Miocic stated.
While the Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou fight has yet to happen, UFC president Dana White hopes it will take place soon. Miocic also gave advice to Tom Aspinall, recommending he stays calm and chooses his shots wisely if he faces Jones in the future.
