UFC 309: Jones vs. Miocic is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on November 16, 2024, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States.[1]

Background

[edit]

The event will mark the promotion's eighth visit to New York City and first since UFC 295 in November 2023.[1]

Jones (left) will make his first heavyweight title defense. Meanwhile, Miocic (right) will make his return after nearly four years and will aspire to become just the second man to be a three-time division champion.

A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion (also a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) Jon Jones and former two-time champion Stipe Miocic is expected to headline this event.[2]

A five-round lightweight rematch between former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira and former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion (also a former UFC lightweight title challenger) Michael Chandler is expected to take place as the co-main event.[3] The pairing previously met for the vacant championship at UFC 262 in May 2021 which Oliveira won by second round TKO.[4]
