Jon Jones acquired the job achieved in convincing style at UFC 309 on Saturday evening.
Returning to the Octagon for the primary time since his title-winning efficiency towards Ciryl Gane nearly two years in the past, ‘Bones’ regarded nearly as good as ever towards the previous two-time heavyweight titleholder Stipe Miocic.
From the get-go, Jones was in full management of the bout, peppering Miocic with a sequence of kicks to the physique and the lead leg. Jones practically completed issues within the opening spherical after securing a takedown and lighting up Miocic with a barrage of elbow strikes close to the fence. Miocic did a very good job of defending, however surviving the spherical was the very best he might do from his again.
The second spherical wasn’t way more aggressive than the primary, however issues got here to a head within the third when Jones unleashed a nasty spinning again kick with lower than a minute to go within the spherical. The kick instantly folded Miocic up towards the fence and ‘Bones’ completed issues with a couple of ground-and-pound strikes that pressured referee Herb Dean to step in and name for the stoppage.
Official Consequence: Jon Jones def. Stipe Miocic through TKO (spinning again kick to ground-and-pound) at 4:29 of Spherical 3.
