**New York City** – In a highly anticipated rematch, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones will defend his undisputed title against former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 on November 16th in Madison Square Garden.
The fight, originally scheduled for UFC 295 last year, was delayed due to an injury to Jones. This matchup pits two of the greatest heavyweights of all time against each other, with Jones widely considered the greatest fighter of all time and Miocic holding the record for most consecutive heavyweight title defenses. Miocic is looking to become a three-time champion, while Jones seeks to solidify his legacy.
The co-main event features a rematch between former champion Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler, who first met at UFC 262 in 2021. Oliveira, coming off two losses in his last three fights, hopes to return to the title picture with a victory, while Chandler looks to avenge his knockout loss to Oliveira.
The card also includes a middleweight clash between rising prospect Bo Nickal and Scottish submission ace Paul Craig, as well as a light heavyweight bout between former title challengers Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes.
