The UFC retured to Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday (November 16) for a UFC 309 card headlined by a heavyweight title fight.

Jon Jones Dominates Stipe Miocic

The main event saw Jon Jones attempt to defend his heavyweight belt for the first time against former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic, who was returning to the cage for the first time since 2021.

Tom Aspinall Demands UFC Undisputed Title Shot in Next Fight, With or Without Jon Jones

Much of the pre-fight talk ahead of UFC 309 revolved around potential matchups with Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall if Jones was able to defend his belt, and after a dominant win "Bones" teased that he would be sticking around while Miocic announced that he'd be retiring.

The co-main event was a huge lightweight rematch between the division’s former champion Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler.

“Do Bronx” scored a second-round finish to claim the vacant lightweight belt when the pair first met at UFC 262, and despite a huge rally from Chandler in the final round the Brazilian once again got his hand raised and called for a lightweight title shot.

The main card also saw Bo Nickal extend his undefeated record against Paul Craig after Viviane Araujo scored an upset-win against Karine Silva, and the main card opened with Mauricio Ruffy's decision-win over James Llontop.
