The UFC is back in New York for UFC 309, and the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 309 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Hulu/FX, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
In the headliner, heavyweight champion Jon Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) puts his title on the line for the first time when he takes on former champ Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in a fight delayed by a year. In the co-feature, former lightweight champ Charles Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) takes on Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) after he was left at the altar by Conor McGregor.
The second episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are just days away from meeting in one of the most talked-about boxing events in recent history with the fight taking place at AT&T Stadium just outside Dallas.
The cavernous stadium, which usually serves as the home to the Dallas Cowboys, typically seats around 80,000 people but with additional seats on the field level, that number could balloon up to 100,000. For the upcoming card, Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions decided to team up with ticket brokers at SeatGeek for sales rather than going through Ticketmaster.
A quick look at the map reveals that there are still plenty of tickets available to the event with seating anywhere from down on the floor close to the ring all the way up to the rafters in the nose bleeds.

The lowest priced regular seat is currently settling for $50 in section 408, which is the top level of AT&T Stadium. Most of the lower priced seats are actually in a few different sections on one half of the stadium. There is a single handicap seat available for $38, which is technically the lowest priced ticket available right now.

Now if you move down one section lower, tickets get a little pricier but still only around $90 each, depending on the row. The prices continue to vary as you get closer and closer to the ring.
As far as floor seats, there are still a smattering of tickets available but once again prices vary depending on location. The closet seat currently available that’s not a resale ticket sits in the fourth row — currently only one actually available — and that costs $7,500.
Scoot back four rows from almost the exact same vantage point and the price drops to $2,623 for the tickets currently available.
Based on the current map, there is actually one ringside seat available from Seatgeek as a special VIP package that costs a whopping $50,000. Another VIP package seated in the second row is going for $12,500 right now.

There are other VIP floor seats going for $20,000 for some tickets with others going as low as $3,500 if you’re willing to sit in the fifth row.
Now other resale sites like Ticketmaster and Stubhub could have different options available as far as ringside or floor seats.
It also must be noted that as the event draws closer and organizers look for a sold out crowd, ticket prices could potentially change, especially with resellers looking to dump those seats rather than eating the cost of the tickets that have already been purchased.
It’s unknown at this time if MVP plans to announce the full live gate for the show.

It’s a combat sports double-header this weekend as on Friday, Jake Paul faces Mike Tyson in their specialty boxing match in Arlington, Texas, and then on Saturday Jon Jones finally defends his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309. So with so much action, No Bets Barred returns to break it all down.
MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew dives deep into both fight cards on this mega-weekend, with betting breakdowns for all the best action. Topics discussed include how bad Jones vs. Miocic will be, whether Tyson has any chance against Jake Paul, Michael Chandler’s odds of avenging his previous loss to Charles Oliveira, the latest update on THE CLIMB, and much more.
Tune in for episode 108 of No Bets Barred.

New episodes of the No Bets Barred podcast drop every Wednesday and are available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever else you find your favorite podcasts. The latest episode can be heard below.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) defends his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 309 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Hulu/FX, ESPN+) main event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
“If you want to be a heavyweight champion, you want to claim that crown,” Volkanovski said of Jones on his YouTube channel. “You did claim it. It was a vacant belt, and you fought Gane for it, and you got it. But it’s going to be hard to convince me you’re defending champ if you don’t fight Tom Aspinall while he’s the interim champ and the biggest threat. Does Jon Jones even need to do this? No.

“He’s already got an incredible legacy, but if you want to claim the heavyweight division and say you were a proper double champ, you’ve got to fight Tom Aspinall. If you really want that on your resume, saying that ‘I’m the best heavyweight while I was there,’ you have to fight Tom Aspinall. I think he’s definitely the biggest threat, the wrestling, he can be dangerous everywhere, and he’s a legit heavyweight.”
“I know there’s talk of him maybe doing a Pereira fight,” Volkanovski continued. “He’s probably in a position where, ‘I don’t need to add to my legacy. I want bigger fights.’ Pereira is a massive name right now, so maybe that’s what he’s chasing, and he’s clever. He knows Tom Aspinall is a way bigger threat.”

Mike Tyson clearly wants to let his fists do the talking for him.
The former heavyweight champion came face-to-face with Jake Paul during their first fight week faceoff on Wednesday but Tyson was a man of few words during the question and answer period. The 58-year-old fighter had no interest in getting drawn into a war of words with Paul, who was sitting just a few feet away from him on stage.
“I’m just ready to fight,” Tyson said. “I’ve said everything I had to say. There’s nothing else to say. I’m just looking forward to fighting.”
The stoic Tyson stayed stone-faced as he stared down Paul, who returned the favor after offering his prediction that the fight wouldn’t make it to the final bell.

“Someone’s getting put to sleep,” Paul said. “It’s going to be a war. We’re both heavy hitters. It’s not going the full 16 minutes.”
While he didn’t get drawn into a fiery faceoff with Paul during the press conference, Tyson did offer one rebuke to a reporter who asked him what would he lose if he lost this fight on Friday.
In response, Tyson got a little more animated while offering up a promise that he wasn’t going to fall to Paul no matter what.
“I’m not going to lose,” Tyson said. “I am not going to lose. Did you hear what I said?”

Paul and Tyson will face off again on Thursday after the weigh-ins with the fight now just 48 hours away with the event airing live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
