Fights to look out for at UFC 259
UFC 259 is the ideal occasion to commence the attendance of fans inside the Apex. The Apex arena has been a life-saver for the UFC during the pandemic. Besides Jacksonville, the Apex arena also served as a go-to location for the UFC to carry on with events within the USA, even when COVID-19 was at its peak.
The current UFC 259 card already features some extremely intriguing matchups, with three of them being title fights.
The main event will feature Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya's move up to the Light Heavyweight division. He will face the champion of the LHW division, Jan Blachowicz, for a champion vs champion bout.
The co-main event will witness the return of 'The Lioness' Amanda Nunes. Arguably the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time, Nunes will defend her Featherweight title against Megan Anderson. Megan Anderson has won 3 of her last 4 fights, all of them being round 1 finishes.
Preceeding the co-main event will be a Bantamweight title bout. The champion Petr Yan will make his first title defence against 'Funk Master' Aljamain Sterling.
Other fights on the UFC 259 card to look out for include Dominick Cruz vs Casey Kenny, Thiago Santos vs Aleksandar Rakic, and Drew Dober vs Islam Makachev.
