Sun Nov 17 06:37:53 UTC 2024: ## Jones Dominates Miocic, Extends UFC Title Record at MSG Thriller
**New York, NY** – Jon Jones cemented his legacy as the UFC’s greatest champion Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, stopping Stipe Miocic with a spectacular spinning back kick in the third round to retain his heavyweight title. The victory extends Jones’ undefeated streak to 20 fights and his UFC title reign to 16, a new promotional record.
The main event was a showcase of Jones’ dominance, culminating in a breathtaking finish that left Miocic reeling. The former champion never fully recovered from the devastating kick, prompting the referee to stop the contest.
The co-main event delivered a thrilling rollercoaster. Charles Oliveira controlled the majority of his lightweight bout against Michael Chandler, but a furious fifth-round comeback by Chandler nearly stole the victory. Oliveira, however, weathered the storm to secure a unanimous decision win.
The packed card at MSG featured twelve fights in total, with notable wins for Viviane Araujo, Bo Nickal, Mauricio Rua, Marcus McGhee, Jim Miller, David Onama, Marcin Tybura, Ramiz Brahimaj, Oban Elliott, and Eduarda Moura. While Jones’ performance stole the show, the night provided a series of exciting matchups that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Analysts Brett Okamoto, Andreas Hale, Jeff Wagenheim, Dre Waters and Eddie Maisonet III will be analyzing the event in detail in the coming days.
