But only the heavyweights have the luxury of filling a plate of food, fielding questions while enjoying a meal.
If he had his way, Miocic would have taken care of that bit of business last November when he and Jones were first booked for the Garden, the delay caused by Jones’ torn pectoral muscle less than two weeks ahead of UFC 295.Michael Chandler, 0-3 at Madison Square Garden, eyes reversal of fortune at UFC 309
He’s a neophyte at the biggest weight class in the UFC, having won in March 2023 the title vacated by Ngannou’s free-agent departure to PFL. He’s merely 1-0 at heavyweight.he’s already back down to 235 pounds from the 248 he weighed when winning the title against Ciryl Gane. The Ohioan hits like a truck — ask Daniel Cormier and Fabricio Werdum, the men he defeated to twice win the heavyweight crown — and his wrestling background makes him no easy target to be pulled into a Jones-friendly world.
Miocic, a cut-to-the-chase man of relatively few words, largely hasn’t had to deal with that. Plus, there’s a sense that the 42-year-old may call it a career Saturday night regardless of the result, although he has not revealed the truth of the matter.
