With the UFC 309 early (and official) weigh ins already in the books (get full results and video here), the cast and crew of tomorrow night’s (Sat., Nov. 16, 2024) Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic-led pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event will head to The Theater at Madison Square Garden for the UFC 309 ceremonial weigh ins and corresponding staredowns, streaming LIVE at 5 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.

“Everyone likes first responders, and I actually respect men and women in the armed forces and law enforcement, things like that, so I made it a point to try to be very respectful to [Stipe],” Jones said at the UFC 309 press conference. “There’s been two scenarios now. First scenario, he said ‘my kids will never look at me like I’m an a**hole.’ That was a direct attack at me and my family and my relationship with my kids. Second attack was him calling me a b*tch. So the respect is a little bit out the window, and we’ll see that on Saturday. It’s very personal to me, yes.”
