Jones was booked to fight Miocic on November 12 2023, however, he suffered a severe injury to his pectoral muscle a month prior, which cancelled the bout.
Over a year after recovery, the 37-year-old is ready to defend his heavyweight belt against UFC veteran Miocic.
The big Croatian also hasn’t fought for a while due to a three-year layoff after he was knocked out by former UFC star Francis Ngannou back in 2021.
Many UK fans wanted to see Jones take on rising English star Tom Aspinall, who recently defended his interim heavyweight at UFC 304 against Curtis Blaydes.
There is still speculation on whether the dream match-up will ever happen due to the rumours sounding Jones’ retirement after this upcoming fight on November 16.

In the co-main event, Charles Oliveira takes on Michael Chandler in a top-ranked lightweight fight, which could see the winner get a title shot against current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
Chandler was scheduled to fight Conor McGregor last June at UFC 303, however McGregor had to pull out due to suffering a toe injury.
