After a run of events without a title fight, the UFC is stacking the deck for UFC 259 with a talent-filled card topped by three title fights. In the night’s main event, light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz will put his title on the line for the first time against undefeated, undisputed middleweight champion Israel Adesanya , while the co-main event will see the latest title defense for the most dominant female athlete in MMA history, Amanda Nunes , who will take on former Invicta FC champion Megan Anderson in a featherweight title fight. The third championship bout of the night will see New York’s Aljamain Sterling challenge Russian champion Petr Yan in a mouthwatering bantamweight title clash. UFC 259 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+
