Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic set for delayed UFC heavyweight championship fight at Madison Square Garden

Originally scheduled for this summer, the highly anticipated heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic has been pushed back to September 24th at Madison Square Garden due to Jones' legal issues.

Jones, who won the UFC light heavyweight championship in 2011, has been teasing a move to heavyweight for years. He finally made the switch in 2020 and has since won two fights in the division, including a victory over former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Miocic, a two-time UFC heavyweight champion, is one of the most accomplished fighters in the division's history. He has defended his title three times and has only lost once in the UFC, to Daniel Cormier in 2018.

The fight between Jones and Miocic is expected to be one of the biggest fights of the year. It will be the first time that Jones has fought in front of a crowd since 2019 and it will be the first time that Miocic has fought in New York City since 2016.

Here are some additional details about the fight:

• The fight will be for the UFC heavyweight championship.
• The fight will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
• The fight is expected to be one of the biggest fights of the year.
