The UFC is gearing up for its second-to-last pay-per-view event of the year, UFC 309, which will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main event features Jon Jones defending his heavyweight title against former champion Stipe Miocic, in a highly anticipated matchup that was postponed due to injury last year. This event also marks the first time in UFC history that two divisional GOATs will face off. In addition to the main event, there are other exciting fights on the card, including Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler and rising prospect Bo Nickal’s return to action. There is also speculation about possible retirements following the event, with Jones, Miocic, Jim Miller, and Chris Weidman potentially hanging up their gloves. Chandler’s UFC title hopes took a hit when his bout fell through, but he will have a chance at redemption against Oliveira at UFC 309. In their first fight, Chandler dominated the first round, but Oliveira came back strong to win by TKO. The rematch will be crucial for both fighters, as Oliveira looks to solidify his spot in the title contention, while Chandler aims to correct his mistakes and secure a victory. Additionally, fighters Nickal and McGhee have impressive finish rates in the Octagon, and will face tough opponents at MSG. UFC events at Madison Square Garden have produced iconic moments, and the upcoming Jones vs. Miocic bout may add to that list.
