Stipe Miocic aims for UFC 309 championship battle with Jon Jones at Madison Square Garden: ‘I’m eager for that matchup’

Stipe Miocic, a former heavyweight champion on two occasions, is setting his sights on a UFC 309 title clash with Jon Jones at Madison Square Garden this November. Miocic, who has been out of action for more than three years, recently suffered a knockout defeat at the hands of Francis Ngannou. Jones, a former top-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, secured the vacant title by submitting Ciryl Gane. Miocic has confirmed his intentions for the championship showdown with Jones, expressing his desire for the fight and being willing to wait until November for it. The anticipated showdown is likely to occur at Madison Square Garden. Miocic’s last bout was in 2020, where he defeated Daniel Cormier to defend his heavyweight belt. The looming question is: who will come out on top in the UFC 309 title bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic?
