The UFC has always left extraordinary narratives, rivalries that mark an era. For years, the largest mixed martial arts (MMA) league in the world has focused its efforts on creating stars who, when they face each other, result in a more than profitable product. This Saturday, we will experience sports history, because in the main event of <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2024/11/nba-athlete-challenges-jon-jones-his-response-is-severe/" title="NBA Athlete Challenges Jon Jones, His Response Is Severe”>UFC 309, two legends of this discipline will face each other.
On one side will be the one considered by many to be the best fighter in the history of the UFC, Jon Joneswho comes to the fight as a favorite and as heavyweight champion (he was previously light heavyweight champion on numerous occasions, where he successfully defended his belt eleven times). In the other, it will appear Stipe Miocicprobably the strongest champion there has been in the highest weight category of the American company.
Hiring black fighters to mimic me will not help you Stipe. And you shouldn’t have called me a bitch, the disrespect wasn’t necessary. Let’s play. #UFCcountdown

During the promotional videos that the UFC makes to warm up the atmosphere for the fight, Miocic had some somewhat incendiary statements, in which he called Jones a “bitch.” Something that the best fighter of all time has not missed and that he has responded to on social networks. «Hiring black fighters to imitate me won’t help you, Stipe. And you shouldn’t have called me a bitch, the disrespect wasn’t necessary. “Let’s play,” Jon Jones responded bluntly.
The truth is that both arrive with significant inactivity. On the one hand, Jon Jones was injured when this fight was going to take place in November of last year and, since March 2023, he has not climbed the most famous octagon in the world. For his part, Miocic has been unemployed for more than three and a half years, so there is much speculation about the state of form in which he could reach the most anticipated fight in this division.
Be that as it may, it seems that this confrontation could mark the end of the professional careers of both legends, who have managed to leave a legacy that will be very difficult for future generations to repeat.
