Dana White announces a historic UFC heavyweight title fight before UFC 290
Dana White and the UFC have often been criticized for the draconian practices that help them exert control over fighters’ lives. However, no one can deny the fact that more often than not, Dana White ends up making fights that the fans desire to watch.
Ahead of UFC 290, White announced the heavyweight title fight between reigning champion Jon Jones and former title holder Stipe Miocic. While speaking to the reporters on July 7, White shed light on the importance of the fight:
“When you think about the legacy of Jones, the legacy of Stipe - the greatest mixed martial artist of all time vs. the greatest heavyweight of all time after Jones moves up to heavyweight, It’s a fight that had to happen and no better place for it to happen than Madison Square Garden."
Jon Jones captured the UFC heavyweight title after his much-awaited heavyweight debut by defeating Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023. Meanwhile, Stipe Miocic, who is now 40, hasn’t fought since losing the title to Francis Ngannou back in 2021. Jones vs Miocic will headline the UFC 295 event. It will take place on November 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
