One of the greatest fighters in MMA history returns on Saturday night as Jon Jones defends his heavyweight championship against two-time former champion Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309. Jones is making the first defense of the title he won with a first-round submission of Cyril Gane at UFC 285 in March of 2023.

Former UFC title challengers Chael Sonnen and Anthony Smith, as well as retired lightweight contender Paul Felder will serve as a desk analysts on the UFC 309 post-fight show and throughout the card, when necessary. Brendan Fitzgerald will serve as the host.

Tom Aspinall is over trying to force a fight with Jon Jones. The British heavyweight champion has had a meteoric rise in the UFC, securing the interim belt at UFC 295 instead of Jones-Miocic and defending it at UFC 304 in July 2024.
