November 16, Saturday promises to be an electrifying night for MMA fans as Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones takes on former champion Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. (More Boxing News)
Miocic, aiming to become only the second man to claim the heavyweight title three times, is set to make his long-awaited return to the octagon after his March 2021 loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260.
The showdown between Jones and Miocic has been a long time coming. Fans were denied their anticipated treatment at UFC 295 last year when the fight was postponed due to Jones suffering a pectoral muscle injury. This weekend, however, combat sports fans—including Donald Trump, whose attendance is almost confirm —are finally set to witness this epic battle
Jones comes into this clash as the reigning heavyweight champion, having captured the belt dominantly with a first-round submission victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023.
The excitement doesn’t end with the main event. UFC 309 boasts an incredible lineup featuring some of the sport’s biggest stars. Fights like Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira, Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington, and Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz are all set to add to the thrills of this historic night.
