Jon Jones is still the UFC heavyweight champion after sending former title holder Stipe Miocic into retirement.
The UFC 309 main event pitted two legends of MMA in the center of Madison Square Garden in New York for what promised to be a firework-producing title fight. At 4:29 of Round 3, Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) found the shot he needed to put Miocic (20-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) down and out.
The fight started with a methodical pace after a quick glove touch. As he typically does, Jones took control of the center of the cage and dictated the pace. After a few moments, Jones closed in and hit a beautiful trip takedown, where the fight would stay for the remainder of the round.
