So, headlining a UFC event is always, and will always, be a big deal. These guys are out here headlining huge cards and selling out arenas, meanwhile my high school forgot to put me in the yearbook. So yeah, this feels like a big deal. But, it’s much more important than just a main event; with Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic fighting for the heavyweight title, things are rather interesting.

Both Jones and Miocic have the talk of retirement surrounding them now; their heavyweight title bout could be the last time we see either of them. Of course, this is just speculation and it’s impossible to know right now, but it’s not a far-fetched thought to see them both hang up the gloves come UFC 295.
