Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic isn’t changing his up his daily routine to fight Jon Jones.

After his fight at UFC 285, Jones advised Miocic to step away from his job as firefighter to get prepared for their upcoming fight.

“I say this respectfully to Stipe, I would take time off from being a firefighter right now. And I mean that with all due respect,” “My whole world is going to be focused on him. This is the biggest opportunity in my life to beat the heavyweight GOAT and I’m going give it everything I’ve got, absolutely everything I’ve got”

We recently sat down with the Miocic, who is currently promoting a partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings in which fans can win a chance to join him for his UFC 295 fight at Madison Square Garden by entering the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin’ Challenge.

Miocic reacted to Jones’ remark by saying that he’s not changing his daily routine because Jones told him so.

“I’ve been doing this my whole career, I’m not going to change anything’

According to Miocic, he’s still working as a full-time firefighter during the lead up to UFC 295.

“Yeah I worked yesterday, it was a good shift..I’ll have a few weeks before and after just the way I set up my vacation time.”

“I love what I do being a firefighter, I love helping people, I also think it keeps my mind off it all, so I don’t about the whole day is fighting, it just keeps me grounded”

Miocic and Jones are set to fight on November 11th at Madison Square Garden, New York for UFC 295.

The Big 3 NBA Podcast

Is Jayson Tatum Overlooked as the Face of the NBA?

On the latest episode of the Big 3 NBA Podcast, Sherrod Blakely welcomes Clutch Points' Josue Pavon to talk Celtics, NBA storylines, and the league’s biggest narratives. They start by discussing Jayson Tatum’s impact, questioning why—despite his elite stats, clean image, and respect from peers—he doesn’t get the same "league love" as other stars in the face-of-the-NBA conversation. With fans making his jersey No. 3 in sales and players consistently ranking him among the best, should Tatum be getting more recognition? The conversation shifts to Cleveland emerging as a real threat, how the Eastern Conference looks like a two-team race, and the battle brewing in the Western Conference playoffs. They also dive into OKC and Chet Holmgren’s durability, plus an intriguing Luka-LeBron debate to close out the show.
