Stipe Miocic officially announces his retirement following UFC 309 defeat

Harry Kettle - November 17, 2024

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after losing to Jon Jones last night. Throughout the course of his career, Stipe Miocic has been defying the odds. He managed to overcome the expectations of the masses several times, to the point where he was eventually able to become a world champion in the UFC. He will go down as a two-time champion and, regardless of what happened on Saturday, the greatest heavyweight of all time.

The Octagon returned to Madison Sqaure Garden for tonight’s UFC 309 event, and five fighters wound up taking home $50k bonuses. The fight card was headlined by a heavyweight title bout featuring Jon Jones taking on former champion Stipe Miocic. The contest proved to be another dominant performance from the greatest MMA fighter of all time in Jon Jones. ‘Bones’ nearly finished Stipe Miocic in the opening round with some brutal elbows, but the former champ showcased his heart to survive the initial onslaught. While Miocic did better in round two, it was still clearly Jon’s fight to lose. Then, in round three, ‘Bones’ landed a spinning back kick that put Miocic down for good. Some follow up ground and pound was all Jones needed to end the fight.
