Time for the UFC to return to Madison Square Garden for a major heavyweight title fight that has pretty much lost all of its steam. But we still wanna see it! We break down the main card for UFC 309 and make our predictions, but we also look at a few headlines related to the event.
Does it make sense for Jon Jones to fight for a BMF title? No. No it doesn’t. But he thinks it does! And Matt Brown tries to make sense of Jones’ reasoning on what could happen after his bout with Stipe. Plus, Jon Anik weighs in on the topic as well, and Daniel Cormier will have the task of being impartial as he calls the fights this weekend.
Oh, and Jon took umbrage to some choice language Miocic employed in the Countdown special. What a timeline we live in.
