UFC 309: Jones vs. Miocic is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on November 16, 2024, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States.[1]

Background

[edit]

The event will mark the promotion's 11th visit to New York City and first since UFC 295 in November 2023.[1]

Jones (left) will make his first heavyweight title defense. Meanwhile, Miocic (right) will make his return after nearly four years and will aspire to become just the second man to be a three-time division champion.

A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion (also a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) Jon Jones and former two-time champion Stipe Miocic is expected to headline this event.[2] They were previously expected to headline UFC 295 last November, but Jones withdrew due to a pectoral muscle injury.[3] Current interim champion Tom Aspinall is expected to serve as backup and potential replacement for this fight.[4]

A five-round lightweight rematch between former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira and former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion (also a former UFC lightweight title challenger) Michael Chandler is expected to take place as the co-main event.[5] The pairing previously met for the vacant championship at UFC 262 in May 2021 which Oliveira won by second round TKO.[6]

A welterweight bout between Randy Brown and Carlos Prates was scheduled for this event.[7] However, Prates ended up being scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates against Neil Magny a week earlier.[8]

A lightweight bout between Mauricio Ruffy and Charlie Campbell was scheduled for this event.[9] However, Campbell withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by James Llontop.[10][11]

On November 6, two fighters pulled out of the event due to undisclosed reasons: Azamat Murzakanov, who was scheduled to face Nikita Krylov in a light heavyweight bout; and Lucas Almeida, who was expected to face David Onama at featherweight. It is unclear if replacements will be sought for both opponents.[12]
