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.
