Heavyweight champion Jon Jones will put his title on the line for the first time in the UFC 309 main event on Nov. 16 in New York City. Jones faces former two-time titleholder Stipe Moicic at Madison Square Garden in a fight that was expected to take lace a year ago. The two were scheduled to meet in the UFC 295 main event last November but Jones was forced out of the fight due to a pectoral injury. Fully healed and ready to return, heavyweight knockout artist Derrick Lewis believes Jones will make quick work of Miocic. “I think Jones will beat him in the first round,” Lewis said during the UFC Edmonton Media Day. ”It’s crazy to see a lot of people just disrespect Jones like that, like he ain’t the G.O.A.T., for real. “A lot of people keep throwing around these GOAT terms and this and that; Jones has been doing this for so many years at the top of the level against all these opponents – like top ranked guys,” Lewis continued.
