Prediction for the fight Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic
In November 2023, Jon Jones was supposed to fight Stipe Miocic to cement his title as the best heavyweight on the planet of all time. However, an injury prevented him from doing so, so a year later, on November 17, he will headline the UFC 309 tournament to settle the matter once and for all and, probably, end his career. Especially since the fight will take place in New York – in the champion’s backyard.
Jones is the absolute favorite (1.13). Despite the downtime since March 2023, there is no doubt that the champion will enter the cage in excellent condition, because before that, 3 years of inaction did not affect him in any way. The paradox is that in his current form, John can surpass Miocic in almost all aspects of the fight, and if Stipe's power in the stand is potentially capable of causing him inconvenience, then on the ground, he is unlikely to surprise "Bony" with anything. And with such a break, it is generally unclear how fast the challenger will be, and whether he will retain his former reaction. For a second, we are talking about a 37-year-old heavyweight in his prime, and a veteran who has not fought since 2021, who is already 42.
Stipe is an underdog (4.85). Today, we can only talk about the former champion's past achievements: a record of 3 belt defenses in a row, high-profile fights with the strongest heavyweights, and popular love. Otherwise, we can only remember how he lost to Francis: a déclassé in wrestling and a tough knockout. Then - 3 years and 8 months of inactivity, so Miocic's chances of winning are very vague. In this case, we can only hope for a successful hit on John, who will believe in himself and give up. Neither in clinches, nor in wrestling, nor in working from a distance, Stipe will have nothing to catch with such a cautious, experienced and technical opponent.
Prediction: Total less (2.5) by rounds/John Jones wins by KO/TKO/Submission

Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic Prediction
I don't want to belittle Miocic's merits, because the heavyweight division is good because upsets happen here most often, but betting on Stipe's victory is an act bordering on madness. Even if a lucky punch happens, or we see a challenger who has nothing to lose and he puts Jones under unprecedented pressure with a hail of punches, it is better to bet on the total rounds (Total less (2.5)). Taking into account all other probabilities, John can only be stopped by an injury during the fight, otherwise, in 25 minutes, he will definitely find leverage over Miocic and finish him.
