Bookmakers' analysts consider Jones a clear favorite of the upcoming fight. In their opinion, Miocic will have very little chance of success. However, not everything is so clear in the fight of MMA veterans. Stipe is not a timid fighter and also knows the taste of championship victories. Moreover, almost all of his successful knockouts occur in the first rounds. His 37-year-old opponent also always strives to finish fights early. It is worth betting that the fight will not go the full distance.
