An undisputed heavyweight championship fight between division kingpin, Jon Jones, and the current number three ranked division contender and former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic, is officially slated to headline UFC 295 on November 11. from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

“What’s up everybody, UFC president Dana White here,” Dana White said in a video posted on the UFC Twitter account. “It’s International Fight Week here in Las Vegas, so it’s the perfect time to announce another badass fight. For the heavyweight championship of the world, Jon Jones – the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, will defend his title against the greatest heavyweight of all-time, former champ, Stipe Miocic.”

Undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has confirmed plans to retire from active competition ahead of an expected title defense against Stipe Miocic later this year, explaining how he can see the end of his competitive career on the horizon.
Jones, a former light heavyweight champion under the UFC banner to boot, added to his gold laden trophy cabinet back in March atop a UFC 285 card, minting himself as the undisputed heavyweight gold holder with a first round guillotine choke win over Ciryl Gane.
Expected to make a summer return against the returning former two-time heavyweight champion, Miocic at International Fight Week in July, a potential UFC 290 title headliner between the two was scuppered.
Now targeting a Madison Square Garden outing against Miocic as part of the UFC’s annual trip to ‘The Mecca’, Jones confirmed that he will likely call time on his professional mixed martial arts career following his title defense against the Ohio veteran.
“You know, I feel like the Stipe (Miocic) fight will be plenty for me,” Jon Jones told Fox Sports during a recent interview. “I don’t have much to prove after beating Stipe Miocic. I’ve been in the game for a long time, and in fighter years, I’m an old guy. I’ve been training for a long time, been in the game for a long time. Got some small injuries, and I really just want to be around – be around for my family, I wanna be around for my kids, I wanna be able to play with my kids. And have a good head on my shoulders, and joints that work.”
“I could see it coming to an end really soon,” Jon Jones explained. “And I’m happy with that, I’m really proud of my career.”
Alluding to a potential retirement from the sport in the near future as he confirmed his intentions to fight Miocic at Madison Square Garden later this year, Jones joked that he would weigh up his future after fan outpour urged him to continue fighting beyond this annum.

UFC heavyweight Sergei Pavlovich believes he has done enough to earn a title shot, and is willing to wait for his opportunity.
This past weekend at UFC Vegas 71, Pavlovich faced what was predicted as his toughest opponent thus far in his UFC career, but once again the Russian succeeded.
If there’s one thing Curtis Blades has achieved in recent years, it is the fact that he has out-wrestled almost every heavyweight presented his way, but yet again Pavlovich was able to make quick work of his opponent.
The 18-1 heavyweight made it a total of 15 career knockouts, finishing off Blades to make it a streak of 6 consecutive first round knockouts.
Following Jon Jones masterful return at UFC 285, the scene was set in stone for an opening title defence against Stipe Miocic, who Jones personally requested.
Although with Pavlovich tearing through the heavyweight division with shades of Francis Ngannou during his come-up, it is undeniable that the 30-year-old has one goal in mind in the shape of a belt.
Not only did Pavlovich make it look easy in the octagon, but he was seen as cool as a cucumber sitting alone playing slots in a Las Vegas casino just hours before his fight.

As Sergei Pavlovich quickly grows as a fan favourite, he said he is not in a rush to demand his title shot despite his goal of achieving it.
“I’ll rest, I’ll eat. I’ll sleep. I’ll rest some more. I’ll wait,” Sergei Pavlovich said following UFC Vegas 71.
Former heavyweight champion Miocic has not fought since his devastating knockout defeat to Ngannou, but he has a major task ahead of him against the heavily acclaimed MMA goat, Jones.
In his long awaited return, Jones handed Ciryl Gane the first loss by finish in his MMA career, and Dana White said the next heavyweight battle for gold will likely be held at Madison Square Garden.
Pavlovich may become increasingly confident in his abilities with yet another win in the column, but he does not downplay the achievements nor the capabilities of the two collosols fighting later this year.
“I wouldn’t say that either of them would be an easy fight,” Sergei Pavlovich said. “I mean, they’re both hard warriors, so I would have to prepare for whoever it is, then be ready for whoever they give me.”
