One of the greatest fighters in MMA history returns on Saturday night as Jon Jones defends his heavyweight championship against two-time former champion Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309. Jones is making the first defense of the title he won with a first-round submission of Cyril Gane at UFC 285 in March of 2023.

Among the potential opponents, Jones mentioned were Jamahal Hill and Derrick Lewis—fighters who bring unique challenges but aren’t necessarily title contenders. Jones hinted at meeting Hill at a catchweight of 220 pounds, a matchup he described as “interesting” given his current flexibility to compete with both light heavyweights and heavyweights.

The UFC returns to Madison Square Garden this Saturday for UFC 309, and MMA KO’s Drew Beaupré is here to provide predictions for all eight prelim fights.
