Dana White announced the UFC Heavyweight Championship match between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic in UFC 309. After a three-year break, Jon Jones made his octagon comeback in March 2023 when he defeated Ciryl Gane for the championship.
At UFC 295, Jon Jones was scheduled to defend his heavyweight title for the first time against former champion and debatable heavyweight G.O.A.T., Stipe Miocic. Jones injured his pectoral tendon during wrestling drills before the match, and the protracted healing process has delayed the progress of the heavyweight class.
Jon Jones Follows the Steps Of Floyd Mayweather
After their unsuccessful title match, Jon Jones announced his comeback to the Octagon overnight on his official social media accounts. He revealed that he will face Stipe Miocic, the former champion, in a rescheduled matchup atop UFC 309 on November 9 from Madison Square Garden.
One of the greatest fighters to have ever lived is Jon Jones, a former light heavyweight and current heavyweight in the UFC. With dedication in the gym, Jones not only achieved extraordinary fighting skills and an insane size but also became the greatest of mixed martial arts.
Jon Jones has decided to train according to Floyd Mayweather’s regimen before his bout with Stipe Miocic. In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Jones revealed,
“I usually fall asleep around 3 AM but I also don’t have breakfast until 12 in the afternoon. I train in the afternoon, I train at night, I fight at night. This is my clock. I remember Mayweather had a similar schedule through his career.”

Floyd’s regimen includes a heavy bag, speed bag, sparring, floor work, pads, core exercises, neck training, bodysuit work, and a 5-8 mile run.
Jones trains differently than any other boxer. He uses technology to assist him in his workouts, including conditioning, strength training, cardio, and MMA-specific drills. In addition to all of his hard work in the gym, Jon follows a strict diet.
