Jon Jones will defend the heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 tonight, in a controversial contest that has been a year in the making.
Jones was due to defend the belt against the former two-time champion last November, but a torn pectoral muscle ruled “Bones” out of the bout on two weeks’ notice. As a result, an interim title was created and won by Tom Aspinall – who knocked out Sergei Pavlovich after Miocic declined to face the Russian.
