NEW YORK – In the buildup to UFC 309, there’s been a lot of criticism surrounding Stipe Miocic’s upcoming fight against Jon Jones. But to the former heavyweight champion, it’s all white noise.
Miocic returns to the cage this Saturday in the main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden where he challenges Jones for the heavyweight belt. The championship opportunity comes after Miocic spent more than three-and-a-half years inactive, with his last win coming in August 2020.
Lots has been said about the making of this fight, especially with UFC interim champion Tom Aspinall being available, but it hasn’t bothered Miocic one bit.
