Stipe 'Stone Cold' Miocic (20-4-0), considered one of the best heavyweights in UFC history, returns to the cage after three years of waiting. He will do so as the headliner against Jon 'Bones' Jones for the heavyweight title at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden in New York.The Ohio native is back in the octagon. He has not fought since March 2021, when he lost the title by KO to Ngannou. At 42 years of age, the UFC legend will face the man recognized by the company's president, Dana White, as the greatest of all time. A tough challenge for the American fighter in what could be his last fight. It is expected to be one of the most anticipated fights in recent heavyweight history.
Possible retirement
The heavyweight could retire just like his opponent tonight, as he recently mentioned that this title fight could be the last of his career. "I think in every fight I'm always preparing for the last one. I always thought about retiring after my fight in UFC."
The fighter left his future up in the air in Mixed Martial Arts: "I love what I do and it's fun. We'll see, but right now my task is Jon Jones. That's all I care about." Thus, this pay-per-view event could become one of the most memorable in UFC history.

A fight beyond the title
Miocic holds the record for defenses in the heavyweight division (four), defeating fighters such as Daniel Cormier and Francis Ngannou. This is an opportunity to return to the octagon after a long period of inactivity and prove that he is still the king of the division. It will be a clash of two legends who are in the twilight of their careers and, for Miocic, beating Jones would cement his legacy once and for all in UFC history.
This fight promises to be a clash of styles: Miocic's boxing and strength against Jones' control, creativity and technique. In addition, the fight has historical implications, as the winner could be considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, regardless of weight class. With just a few days to go before the fight, the atmosphere is hotter than ever, with both fighters exchanging words.
