UFC 309 takeaways: Jones king of the heavyweights; McGregor-Chandler still teases
Briefly

"Jon Jones left no doubt once again that he's the greatest MMA fighter of all time with a third-round TKO of Miocic in his heavyweight title defense. This victory against a former champion reestablishes his dominance in the sport and silences any retirement speculation. UFC president Dana White has emphasized Jones’ elite status, as he continues to outmaneuver high-profile opponents and remains an influential force in the division, looking toward future matchups that promise to excite fans."
"Michael Chandler, even in a loss, managed to keep his hopes alive for a fight with Conor McGregor. Despite the defeat, he showcased resilience and skill during the five rounds, making his bout compelling enough to potentially revive interest in a matchup between them. Analysts consider that Chandler’s performance, notably in the latter rounds, may have been enough to maintain his marketability in UFC, highlighting the unpredictable nature of fight outcomes and the continuing allure of high-stakes matchups in MMA."
