Main Event Breakdown: Jones vs Miocic Jones returns after a bicep injury, riding an 18-fight win streak. His only loss was a 2009 DQ against Matt Hamill. Miocic, 42, last fought in March 2021, losing to Francis Ngannou. Jones holds a 4.5-inch reach advantage and has significantly improved his boxing. Despite Miocic's wrestling background and boxing credentials, Jones' diverse striking and athleticism make him the favorite.

Oliveira (34-10) comes off a split decision loss to Tsarukyan, while Chandler (23-8) hasn't fought since November 2022. Given both fighters' experience and recent performance patterns, expect a longer fight.
