Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has responded after Tom Aspinall recently suggested he may be injured.
No matter what anyone says, it’s hard to argue against Stipe Miocic being the greatest heavyweight of all time. Of course, there are many people trying to challenge that status, including Jon Jones. He’s set to battle Miocic later this year but according to interim champion Tom Aspinall, Stipe may be injured.

“These are just rumors, there is a lot of talk, and there is nothing announced yet. I’m hearing rumors that Stipe is potentially injured. These are things I’m hearing from the inner circle, Stipe I believe his birthday was yesterday actually, he’s 42 years old the guy is going to be injury-prone. Jon Jones, million miles on the clock, he’s going to be injury prone. Me, I’m ready to go, I’m not even in my prime yet and I’m hungry for it, and I’m not sure these two guys are but I am. I will fight either of them for the undisputed title on any notice, I’m ready,” Tom Aspinall said.
As it turns out, Miocic may not be in danger of pulling out after all.
