UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones returns to action for the first time in more than 20 months when he faces two-time titlist Stipe Miocic on Saturday.
Reliably controversial Jones first became champion in 2011 and defended the belt 11 times before stepping away from the sport between 2020 and 2023.
Now 37, he remains unbeaten for the promotion but has been stripped of the title on multiple occasions because of conduct and substance violations.
