Tuesday, news broke that the UFC was returning to its most recent past generation of gloves for UFC 309 and not the updated ones that arrived in June. That was great news for Jones, who has not fought with the new gloves, and in using them in training ahead of his title defense against Stipe Miocic, had not grown used to them.

The UFC returns to Madison Square Garden this Saturday for UFC 309, and MMA KO’s Drew Beaupré is here to provide predictions for all eight prelim fights.

The man many regard as the greatest of all time is returning to the Octagon on Saturday night. And if Jon Jones defends his heavyweight title at UFC 309, he may set his eyes on another belt.“Bones” is set to make his first title defense since winning the championship at UFC 285 in March 2023.
