UFC 309: Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic - Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more
The UFC 309 event is set to be headlined by the highly-anticipated showdown between MMA legends Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. They were to clash at UFC 295 in November 2023, but that booking fell apart because Jones suffered a pectoral injury.
Jones' most recent fight was a UFC heavyweight title-clinching submission victory against Ciryl Gane in March 2023. Miocic's last fight was his rematch against Francis Ngannou in March 2021, wherein he lost the UFC heavyweight title via second-round KO.
After several delays, the Jones-Miocic matchup is finally en route to materialize at UFC 309. Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is expected to weigh in as the backup/replacement fighter for that fight.
Additionally, the card's co-headlining match is a rematch between former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler. The event also features the return of rising star Bo Nickal, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, veteran combatant Jim Miller, and many more promotional staples.
