UFC 309 from Madison Square Garden is on November 16. UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon “Bones” Jones is back to defend his title against the former two-time champion Stipe Miocic.
Below, I detail Jon Jones’s prop bets for Saturday’s fight against Stipe Miocic.
Best Jon Jones Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jon Jones over 44.5 significant strikes (-115)
Jones beat Ciryl Gane in the first round in March 2023. Since it didn’t last long, Jones only landed five significant strikes. But he is now facing the greatest UFC Heavyweight champion in history. Although Miocic is coming off a loss, he is a seasoned veteran and will not be an easy task for Jones.
Jones has eclipsed this mark in four of his previous five fights. If this fight lasts longer than two rounds, he has an excellent chance to finish with at least 45 significant strikes.
Jon Jones under 2.5 takedowns landed (-135)
Although Jones has seven submissions in his career, he hasn’t scored a ton of takedowns lately. Jones has only recorded over 2.5 takedowns once in his previous five contests. Miocic has an impressive 68 percent takedown defense, while Jones’ takedown accuracy is only 45 percent.
In his previous fight, Jones faced Gane, who is purely a striker and has no experience on the ground. Even though Miocic isn’t known for his wrestling, he is capable when the fight goes to the ground. You can get Jones to have fewer than 2.5 takedowns at -135 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
