The odds are stacked in Jon Jones’ favor to defeat Stipe Miocic, but could an upset be brewing in the UFC 309 headliner?

Part of the reason for those lopsided odds might be Jones’ status as arguably the greatest fighter of all-time but there’s also questions surrounding Miocic even getting this matchup after nearly four years away from the sport and coming off a brutal knockout loss to Francis Ngannou in his previous outing in 2021.

Jones and Miocic were due to meet at Madison Square Garden last November, but a torn pectoral muscle forced “Bones” out of the fight – delaying his first title defence by 12 months. Now the former light-heavyweight champion, 37, and heavyweight great Miocic, 42, will meet at MSG at long last, though their fight has proven controversial.
