Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has allegedly been told of the UFC’s plans for his return to the Octagon.

Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane will battle for the vacant heavyweight title this Saturday at UFC 285. Jones returns after a three-year layoff to make his heavyweight debut, while Gane gets his second chance at becoming a UFC champion.

Miocic will sit cageside to watch all of the action at UFC 285. He hasn’t fought since a loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 and is nearing a return, likely against the Jones/Gane winner.

During a recent sitdown with former foe Daniel Cormier, Miocic revealed that the UFC has told him that he’ll return at UFC 290 against the Jones/Gane victor to cap off UFC International Fight Week in July.

At first I wasn't buying into the gut stuff in this thread and from DC. But after weigh-ins when you had perfect side-by-side comparisons between Jones and Gane, it's really something you can't just brush off.

Rashad Evans was saying Jones should have came in the 230's and shredded like Stipe. There's nothing wrong with being a HW on the lighter side.

Jones went big size, and it's not clear if that's going to play out as a benefit tomorrow.

Eh. He always made the most of his reach advantage at LHW and he's giving up most of it moving up. I wanna say he averaged 9+ inches of reach advantage throughout his LHW career, against Gane he's only got 3. I think coming in a little heavier helps him, especially for his first fight at HW.

Fedor carried plenty of gut and he was fine. Jones doesn't have enough extra mass that it makes him heavier to himself, especially if he's not trying for a cardio machine strategy in this fight.
