Jon Jones solidified his legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time with a dominant TKO victory over Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309. The bout, held Saturday night, saw the reigning heavyweight champion overwhelm Miocic with precise striking, relentless pressure, and surgical execution to secure the stoppage in the third round.

Jones, who captured the heavyweight title in March 2023 with a swift submission win over Ciryl Gane, showcased his versatility against Miocic, a former champion and the most successful titleholder in the division's history.

From the outset, Jones used a mix of body kicks, leg strikes, and sharp jabs to keep Miocic at bay. His defense was nearly impenetrable, nullifying Miocic’s advances and forcing the Ohio native to fight on the back foot.

Miocic, returning to the octagon for the first time since March 2021, struggled to find his rhythm. While he showed flashes of his signature power and resilience, the 42-year-old’s timing and pace were no match for Jones' precision and speed.
