Spectators at the Madison Square Garden in New York will witness a fight between two veteran fighters in UFC. Jon Jones (aged 37) is the current holder of the heavyweight champion title, winning it from Ciryl Gane in 2023.
Jones will defend his title, as well as an incredible track record: 27 wins, 10 by KO, and only one defeat by disqualification against Matt Hamill. He is considered one of the best fighters in UFC history, but will face another legend, with the longest title defence streak in the heavyweight division (three defences).
Will Stipe Miocic (aged 42) gain the title back? In 2021, he finally lost the heavyweight title to Francis Ngannou in 2021 via knockout. He hasn’t stepped into the ring since then. This weekend’s fight was delayed for a whole year after Jones suffered a pectoral muscle injury.
