The UFC’s return to Madison Square Garden, and the massively hyped heavyweight championship main event between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic is less than two weeks away.
Jones and Miocic are set to battle for the UFC heavyweight title to cap off UFC 309 on Nov. 16 in New York City. “Bones” puts his belt on the line for the first time since capturing his second divisional title at UFC 285 in March 2023, while Miocic competes for the first time in nearly four years.
During Saturday’s UFC Edmonton event, the UFC released a new promo video hyping up the Jones vs. Miocic championship encounter. Watch the video below.

Miocic seeks his first victory since defeating Daniel Cormier in their trilogy bout at UFC 252 in August 2020. The multi-time heavyweight champion lost the title in his next fight, suffering a brutal knockout at the hands of Francis Ngannou at UFC 260.
Jones makes the walk to the octagon for the just the second time since retaining the light heavyweight title — which he vacated shortly after to move to heavyweight — in a controversial decision against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February 2020.
