Official: Jones and Miocic to headline UFC 295 in November

John Jones And Stipe Miocic fight for the UFC heavyweight title in the most famous arena in the world.

Ahead of the UFC 290 weigh-ins, promotion president Dana White announced that the two legendary American mixed martial artists will headline UFC 295 on November 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Jones wins vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285 in March, when he returned to the octagon after a three-year hiatus and defeated Cyril Gan in the first round. Bones, 35, moved up to heavyweight after years of dominating the light heavyweight division, where he vacated the belt in 2020.

Miocic has not entered the octagon since March 2021. In his last fight, the 40-year-old heavyweight title defense record holder was knocked out in the second round by Francis Ngannou.
