UFC 309: 5 Preliminary Fights to Watch

UFC 309 is set to go down from Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday. Heavyweight champion Jon Jones will fight former heavyweight king Stipe Miocic in the main event. Interim champion Tom Aspinall will have to wait longer for his unification shot, provided Jones accepts a fight with him if he beats Miocic.

Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler are set to clash in a non-title rematch of their lightweight championship fight from a few years ago.

The rest of the UFC 309 main card is rounded out by wrestling prodigy Bo Nickal taking on established veteran Paul Craig at middleweight; Karine Silva and Viviane Araujo meeting at flyweight; and Mauricio Ruffy making his sophomore UFC appearance against James Llontop at lightweight.
