UFC 309: Jones vs Miocic preview

The reigning heavyweight champion and greatest light heavyweight in UFC history, Jon Jones, takes on the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time, Stipe Miocic, in what promises to be one of the fights of a generation at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden today.

It's a blockbuster that's been a long time in the making – and then a pectoral tear for Jones forced its postponement for another 12 months. It means former two-time heavyweight champion Miocic enters this bout at the age of 42, having last fought over three years and seven months ago. It was a Round 2 defeat at the hands of Francis Ngannou, though Miocic's Daniel Cormier trilogy highlighted his ability to bounce back.

Jones, meanwhile, would argue that having something to bounce back from marks you out as a loser. Widely considered the top pound-for-pound fighter UFC has ever seen, the 37-year-old dispatched of the great Ciryl Gane within seconds of his heavyweight debut a year and eight months ago, and he'd love to be the man to send Miocic into retirement.

The co-main event is a belter too, with Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler set for a rematch of their UFC 262 encounter. On that occasion the Brazilian rode out Chandler's hyper-aggressive start and an early knockdown to score a Round 2 knockout and with it the lightweight belt. Chandler has lost on his previous two visits to the MSG.

Amidst everything else, US president elect Donald Trump is in the building, though that won't discourage Tom Aspinall from trying to steal the show.
