Uncrowned has UFC 309 results, live round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic fight card on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. After a nearly two-year layoff, UFC champion Jones makes his first defense of the heavyweight title against former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic in the evening’s main event.

Jones (27-1, 1 NC) and Miocic (20-4) were scheduled to fight at Madison Square Garden in November 2023, but the fight fell apart due to a Jones shoulder injury.

Jones, 37, submitted Ciryl Gane in the first round of his most recent UFC appearance in March 2023 to capture the vacant UFC heavyweight title in his division debut. Before that, Jones was a longtime UFC light heavyweight champion who held the title under multiple reigns.

Miocic, 42, is also a former UFC titleholder who sets a record after a long layoff and holds the UFC benchmarks for most consecutive (3) and combined (4) heavyweight title defenses. Miocic’s most recent Octagon appearance came in a March 2021 knockout loss to Francis Ngannou, while his most recent win came in an August 2020 title defense to complete his trilogy with Daniel Cormier.

In the co-main event, lightweight contenders Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler collide in a rematch of their 2021 title fight, in which Oliveira defeated Chandler via second-round knockout. Chandler (23-8), a three-time Bellator lightweight champion, has not fought since losing to Dustin Poirier in November 2022, largely due to his failed pursuit of Conor McGregor. Oliveira (34-10, 1 NC) has split his two bouts since dropping the UFC title in October 2022. First he defeated Beneil Dariush with a first-round knockout and then lost a narrow split decision to Arman Tsarukyan last April.

UFC 309 start time for the preliminary card is at 6:00 PM ET on ESPN+. The main card kicks off live at 10pm ET on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
