The UFC heads back to Madison Square Garden for their annual November date for a solid UFC 309 card that sees the heavyweight title up for grabs.
Event: UFC 309: Jones vs Miocic
Date: Saturday, November 16, 2024
Location: Madison Square Garden (New York City, New York)
Broadcast: Pay-per-view & ESPN+ (10 p.m. main card, 6 p.m. prelims)
The UFC goes to MSG with the heavyweight title on the line in the main event of the card. Jon Jones returns from injury looking to defend his belt for the first time. Jones hasn’t fought since March of 2023 when he submitted Ciryl Gane to win the heavyweight title. Miocic, meanwhile, is set to fight for the first time since March of 2021 when he was knocked out by Ngannou. This could be a retirement fight for both men.
The co-main event of UFC 309 sees Charles Oliveira rematching Michael Chandler in a pivotal lightweight bout. Oliveira is coming off back-to-back losses while Chandler gave up on his hopes of facing Conor McGregor as he took the bout against the Brazilian. It’s a rematch of their 2021 fight, which Oliveira won by second-round TKO.
