However, on October 25, it was announced that the bout was scrapped after Jones sustained a pectoral muscle injury that required surgery which put him out of action for eight months. After a three-year hiatus since his last bout, Miocic faced current UFC Heavyweight Champion (also former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) Jon Jones on November 16, 2024, at UFC 309.
