Jon Jones' road to UFC 309 has been an interesting one, while Stipe Miocic has seemed to cruise through another UFC fight week en route to another chance at the heavyweight title. Has all of the Tom Aspinall chatter, the MMA fans, and the negativity surrounding Jones gotten to the current champ?

Ahead of Saturday's return to Madison Square Garden, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck is joined by former UFC heavyweight, and past Jones opponent, Parker Porter to discuss the return of Jones as he competes for the first time in nearly two years, facing the former two-time champ, who makes his first appearance in nearly four years, where each fighter goes with a win, and if Tom Aspinall could still be left out of the undisputed title conversation. Additionally, topics include the thrilling lightweight rematch between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler, other storylines heading into Saturday, and more.
