UFC 309: Jones vs. Miocic
November 16 @ 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Jones and Miocic will headline a stacked card that also includes a lightweight bout between Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira that was announced Friday. While Jones and Miocic were originally scheduled to clash at UFC 295 in November 2023, the fight had to be postponed after Jones suffered a torn pectoral muscle during training.
The 37-year-old Jones is one of the most dominant fighters in MMA history, posting a career record of 27-1 with one no-contest. He dominated UFC’s light heavyweight division, winning it twice and successfully defending it 11 times from 2011 to 2020, but he sought a new challenge in the form of moving up to heavyweight. At UFC 285 last year, Jones competed in his first fight after a three-year absence, beating Ciryl Gane to win the vacant UFC heavyweight title.
The 42-year-old Miocic is arguably the best heavyweight in UFC history, posting a 20-4 record with 15 knockouts and holding the UFC heavyweight title on two occasions. Miocic beat big names such as Alistair Overeem, Francis Ngannou and Daniel Cormier, although he fell to Ngannou by second-round knockout in his most recent fight.
