NEW YORK – Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic completed their final bit of UFC 309 pre-fight business with one last staredown at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) and Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) made weight earlier in the day, then completed the build to the potential double retirement heavyweight title bout with a faceoff in front of fans and media before they meet in Saturday’s headliner at Madison Square Garden (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).
Unlike at the press conference, Jones did shake Miocic’s hand when the former champ extended it.
