Follow the UFC 309 live blog for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic, the main event heavyweight title fight this Saturday in New York.
Jones defends his heavyweight title for the first time since claiming a vacant belt with a one-sided submission win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023. That made Jones a two-division champion, following an all-time great run at light heavyweight that saw him win 15 title fights and knock off a litany of legends.
He and Miocic were originally scheduled to throw down at Madison Square Garden at UFC 295 in November 2023, but Jones was forced to withdraw from that clash of legends after suffering a pectoral injury that kept him sidelined for most of 2024.
Miocic is widely hailed as one of the best big men ever and currently holds the record for most consecutive successful defenses of the UFC heavyweight title (3) and most total defenses (4) having won the belt twice. He holds notable wins over Daniel Cormier, Francis Ngannou, Junior dos Santos, Alistair Overeem, and Fabricio Werdum.
When Miocic steps into the cage again, it marks his first fight since March 2021 and he seeks his first win since August 2020.
