This weekend, fight fans are in for a massive showdown at Madison Square Garden. UFC legends Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic headline the event after their originally planned fight was canceled last year. Both have waited patiently and now the moment has arrived. The highly anticipated bout promises to deliver fireworks as these two icons face off at UFC 309.
As excitement builds, here’s a closer look at what each fighter brings to the octagon ahead of this historic clash.
UFC 309: Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic Prediction
Jon Jones is a legend who needs no introduction. As one of the longest-serving superstars and the face of the UFC, he’s been a dominant force in the sport for years. It’s no surprise that Dana White openly supports him and doesn’t tolerate criticism against Jones. With an incredible 27-1 MMA record (21-1 UFC), he’s taken down some of the best, including Daniel Cormier and Ciryl Gane.
His only loss came via disqualification due to the now-altered 12-6 elbow rule. If not for that, he’d hold an undefeated record, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the octagon. Now, after claiming the title from Ciryl Gane in his last fight, Jones is ready to defend it once again.
On the other hand, Stipe Miocic is a legend in his own right. Since making his UFC debut in 2011, he has secured 14 victories while suffering 4 notable losses, including against Daniel Cormier and Francis Ngannou. With a 20-4 MMA record, Miocic has consistently been at the top. Since 2016, every fight he’s been part of has been a title bout, whether defending or competing for the championship.
When it comes to predictions, this fight is all about power vs. power. Miocic’s heavy hands have earned him 14 knockouts, but Jones brings a well-rounded game with both striking and grappling skills. Given Jones’ recent dominance, including his win over Gane, and considering Miocic’s age (41) and potential ring rust, it seems likely that Jones will secure another victory at UFC 309.
