Jones vs. Miocic Moved to UFC on ESPN+ 90

Exciting news for fans eager for the long-awaited UFC Heavyweight Title bout between current champion Jon Jones and the most-successful champion in division history Stipe Miocic as it has been moved from its low-visibility place atop UFC 295 to the headlining spot of UFC on ESPN+ 90, the home of all the fights the UFC most-highly values. With the change the pair move from a Pay Per View card, a booking deemed “disrespectful to the division” by many fans, to the only place fans know of to see the biggest, baddest fights — an ESPN+ card in a small venue in Las Vegas. With the announcement of the shift this will likely put an end to fan pushback against the original booking, with many observers noting that the original plan showed a clear disinterest in promoting the division, which fans agreed would never get a chance to fully take-off if the UFC kept burying its biggest fights on PPV cards.
