Video: From Jones-Miocic to Edwards-Strickland, what’s the worst fight booking idea for 2024?

A new year brings new fights, but some of the proposed matchups ahead for 2024 don’t exactly make the most sense.

Perhaps the shining example, for better or worse, is the UFC’s plan to stick to having the heavyweight champ Jon Jones’ next fight be against Stipe Miocic. The fight scheduled for UFC 295 was scrapped due to a Jones injury that will likely have him sidelined until Q4, led to the creation of an interim title that Tom Aspinall won.

But the UFC wants to overlook Aspinall’s piece of gold, and forgo unifying the title at the next opportunity? Red card!
