UFC 309: Full card, running order, start time, TV channel, live stream

The UFC returns with a pay-per-view live event Saturday , November 16, featuring the return of consensus great Jon Jones against the former heavyweight ruler Stipe Miocic , who clash live on ESPN in the US from the combat sports Mecca – Madison Square Garden in New York City. Victory for Jones would advance his pro-MMA record to 28 wins (10 KOs and 7 subs) against one defeat via disqualification but does little for his legacy. His championship reign at heavyweight would still be disputed because British slugger Tom Aspinall has the interim title.

Miocic, meanwhile, could shake up the entire combat sports landscape with a victory of his own as he has not fought for more than three years, and, despite his previous pedigree, is a wild underdog because of his inactivity and age. Jon Jones admits he may reverse UFC retirement after Stipe Miocic fight Conor McGregor admits to taking cocaine with rape accuser as UFC star maintains innocence The Jones vs Miocic fight isn't the only high-stakes bout on the 13-bout UFC 309, as, though there are five fights on the main card, there are eight on the preliminary section of the show, which viewers can watch on ESPN+. Of the must-see fights, there's a sure-fire lightweight banger between Brazilian grappler Charles Oliveira and American fighter Michael Chandler, who returns to the Octagon after a lengthy, unproductive spell on the sidelines trying, unsuccessfully, to lure Conor McGregor into a fight.



There is also a prominent spot on the pay-per-view card for Bo Nickal, regarded within the industry as America's answer to Khabib Nurmagomedov, who fights teak tough Scottish fighter Paul Craig in a middleweight slog.
