UFC 309 Weigh-in Results: Title Fight Set; 1 Fighter Heavy

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to New York for a heavyweight title fight between reigning champion Jon Jones and a returning Stipe Miocic.

As expected, both UFC 309 main event fighters successfully came in under the 265-pound limit. Jones will be the smaller fighter as Miocic weighed 248.6 pounds, while the champion came in at 237.6 pounds. All other fighters successfully made weight except for James Llontop, who came in 1.2 pounds over for his 165-pound catchweight fight against Mauricio Ruffy. The fight will continue, with Llontop being fined a percentage of his purse.

Jones (27-1, 1 NC) is currently riding a five-fight win streak since his second win over Daniel Cormier was overturned due to a failed drug test. “Bones” won the vacant heavyweight title by submitting Ciryl Gane with a guillotine choke in just over two minutes. This will mark the second heavyweight fight for the former light heavyweight king.

Meanwhile, this is the first fight for Miocic (20-4) since he was knocked out by Francis Ngannou in 2021. The 42-year-old firefighter previously won back-to-back title fights against Cormier. The former UFC heavyweight champ also holds wins over a who’s who of the division, including Ngannou, Junior dos Santos, Alistair Overeem and more.

UFC 309’s ESPN+ pay-per-view will begin at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass before moving to ESPNews and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
