The UFC Heavyweight Championship is up for grabs at UFC 309, which takes place in New York City on Saturday. Jon Jones will defend his belt against Stipe Miocic, a former two-time champion who is looking to reclaim the prize, and we have you covered for all the ways to watch UFC 309 – the planet's most popular MMA franchise.

Jon Jones will defend his UFC Heavyweight Championship in a highly anticipated match against fellow American Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. These two are genuine UFC greats and you won't want to miss their headline bout.

Jones is the favourite as the reigning champion, but Miocic would dearly love to regain the belt for a third time. Jones has the reach advantage and that could be significant, but Miocic's grappling will give the belt-holder something to think about.

Jones came in at 237.6lb at the weigh-in, with Miocic 11lb lighter.

There is plenty of other contests to look forward to at Madison Square Garden, including Charles Oliveira vs Michael Chandler and Bo Nickal vs Paul Craig
