UFC 309 will be at Madison Square Garden on November 16. The early prelims start at 6 p.m. ET, while the prelims are at 8 p.m. ET. The main card starts at 10 p.m. ET, and Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic should make their way to the octagon around 12:30 a.m. ET, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
Jones held the UFC light heavyweight title at various points between 2011 and 2020, with his reign disrupted due to legal issues and failed drug tests. “Bones” vacated the belt in 2020 and didn’t compete for three years, returning in 2023 after Francis Ngannou left the organization.
In March 2022, he faced Ciryl Gane for the UFC heavyweight title, stopping him in the opening round to become a two-division champion.
Miocic won the UFC heavyweight title in 2016 and defended it four times. The 42-year-old traded wins and losses with Daniel Cormier for the belt from 2018 to 2020. Miocic last fought in March 2021, losing the belt against Ngannou.
The winner is expected to face interim UFC heavyweight champion Aspinall, who has been more active of the two if neither retires.
