Stipe Miocic did not suffer any broken ribs in his TKO loss to Jon Jones at UFC 309.
Former two-time heavyweight champion Miocic (20-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) failed to regain the belt Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York and saw his night – and career – come to an end in violent fashion courtesy of a spinning back kick to the body from Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) in the third round.
Jones, who said he trained the technique for hours every week leading up to the event, uncorked his perfectly placed signature kick to the left side of Miocic’s body and immediately folded him to his knees. “Bones” pounced with a few follow-up punches, but it was over as Miocic crouched over in pain while Jones celebrated.
