The UFC returns to New York on Saturday to settle a debate.

At 309, the presumed greatest fighter of all time takes on the presumed greatest heavyweight in UFC history. Both return after lengthy layoffs, but there are key storylines at stake this week, too.

The UFC has released the UFC 309 cold open video. The card features a heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) and former champ Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC).

The video is narrated by actor and regular UFC voice-over narrator Ron Perlman and has a backdrop soundtrack of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica from the 1986 album "Ride the Lightning."

The cold open also looks at the co-main event lightweight fight between former champion Charles Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) and Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC).

Check out the UFC 309 cold open video above.
