UFC 309 – Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic: Fight card, date, odds, start time, rumors, location, full guide

One of the longest waits for a scheduled fight is almost over. The UFC heavyweight title is on the line on November 16th at Madison Square Garden in New York when champion Jon Jones takes on Stipe Miocic in the main event. This match pits the greatest light heavyweight champion in the history of the sport against the greatest heavyweight champion in the history of the sport.

Jones vs. Miocic has been a top priority for the UFC for some time. The legendary encounter was originally scheduled for UFC 295 in New York’s Madison Square Garden in November 2023. Jones pulled out of the fight due to injury, which led the promotion to withdraw Miocic to save the fight for a later date. Jones captured the vacant heavyweight title by defeating Ciryl Gane in Jones’ weight class debut in March 2023. Miocic, the record holder for most UFC heavyweight title defenses, has not fought since losing his title to Francis Ngannou in March 2021. Jones vs. Miocic could potentially serve as a retirement fight for both men.

The co-main event of UFC 309 is a five-round lightweight rematch between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler. The pair fought at UFC 262 in May 2021 for the vacant lightweight title, which Oliveira won by second-round TKO. The fight is particularly notable because Chandler will be absent for two years on the night of the fight, largely because he was waiting for a highly anticipated fight against Conor McGregor that fell through.
