RIYADH: Jon Jones will defend his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 11.
The clash, officially booked for UFC 295, was announced by UFC President Dana White as part of the promotion’s International Fight Week celebrations.
The victor will claim unofficial greatest heavyweight of all time status. Jones, 35, who has made the most consecutive title defences at light-heavyweight in the UFC, will make his first defence of the heavyweight title against Miocic.
The undefeated 2 Division world champion is regarded by many in the mixed martial arts community as the all-time greatest. Miocic, 40, is also no stranger to records, holding consecutive defences of the heavyweight championship.
