LOS ANGELES – We’re still more than a week away from the kickoff for UFC 239 fight week, but already the tension in the air behind its two title fights is palpable. Most of the fighters on the UFC 239 main card were in Los Angeles on Monday ahead of next week’s event for a media day, including the four title fighters atop the card, which takes place July 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+. In the main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (24-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) puts his title on the line against challenger Thiago “Marreta” Santos (21-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC), who is unbeaten since moving up from middleweight.
