One of the greatest fighters in MMA history returns on Saturday night as Jon Jones defends his heavyweight championship against two-time former champion Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309. Jones is making the first defense of the title he won with a first-round submission of Cyril Gane at UFC 285 in March of 2023.

If UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones continues to fight after his Nov. 16 bout with Stipe Miocic, he said the one opponent he'd like to target is Alex Pereira, not Tom Aspinall.

Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic finally arrives on Nov. 16 at UFC 309. Sitting atop the 13-fight card, all-time MMA great Jones makes his long-awaited first defense of the UFC heavyweight title against another future Hall of Famer, former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, at New York's legendary Madison Square Garden.
