NEW YORK, NY – UFC returns to Madison Square Garden this Saturday for UFC 309, featuring a highly anticipated heavyweight championship bout between reigning champion Jon Jones and former champion Stipe Miocic. The fight card also includes an enticing rematch in the co-main event.

Jones, considered by many to be the greatest UFC fighter of all time, will defend his title against Miocic, a record-holding heavyweight with multiple title defenses. However, both fighters have faced criticism for recent inactivity, with Jones having only one fight in the past three years and Miocic only one since 2020. This inactivity has overshadowed the main event, with much of the pre-fight buzz focused on a potential Jones vs. Tom Aspinall matchup, which Jones has repeatedly refused. UFC CEO Dana White has dismissed accusations of Jones avoiding Aspinall.

CBS Sports will provide live coverage of UFC 309, including round-by-round scoring and recaps. The full fight card and betting odds are available online. For expert predictions on the main event, visit SportsLine.
