But the betting odds have the fight at a pretty wide margin, despite how talented both men are. 

Miocic isn't bothered by it though. 

"It took me a couple fights but after I while, I just stopped caring what everyone thought," Miocic told . "I just don't care anymore."

He continued, "You think I'm going to lose? Good for you. You're going to waste a lot of money now. You're going to bet against me, you're going to lose some money. Sorry for that but onto the next."

According to the outlet, Miocic is currently a +325 underdog with Jones sitting at -425.

Jones and Miocic will headline UFC 295 on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023 from Madison Square Garden, New York.
