The main event is not as enticing as it was around five years ago, when Jones first hinted at a move up to heavyweight to face Miocic, but it is still a fascinating contest.
At 37, Jones is the favourite to win with question marks looming over whether Miocic’s powers have waned at the age of 42.
What will happen in the aftermath of the bout is just as intriguing as how the fight itself will play out.
Both fighters have hinted at retirement, although Jones has indicated he would stick around for a super fight with light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira should he be victorious.
UFC president Dana White, however, has said the winner must face Aspinall – the man Jones has repeatedly said he is not willing to fight.
Aspinall has tried to entice Jones into unification bout, much to the American’s annoyance, but would the UFC be able to make the fight happen?
The curveball is if Miocic wins, inflicting Jones’ first defeat in 15 years and becoming a three-time UFC heavyweight champion.
Would Miocic continue with his plans to retire, therefore elevating Aspinall to undisputed champion, or would he be enticed into a unification bout with the Briton?
These questions have been looming over the UFC’s heavyweight division for over a year now after Aspinall won the interim title, but in just one day we will finally have the answers.
