On Saturday, March 6, the UFC holds UFC 259 at Apex in Las Vegas. The ESPN+ streaming pay-per-view card features three title fights at the top of the card.
In the main event of the ESPN+ streaming pay-per-view event, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya moves up to light heavyweight to challenge Jan Blachowicz for his 205-pound title belt. In the co-headliner, two-division women’s champion Amanda Nunes puts her featherweight title on the line against Megan Anderson. Before those two title bouts, bantamweight champion Petr Yan tangles with No. 1 ranked 135-pound contender Aljamain Sterling.
The preliminary portion of the fight card also features some notable names. In the featured prelim, former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz looks to stay in the mix when he faces Casey Kenney. Also on the prelims is former flyweight title challenger Joseph Benavidez. He looks to stop Askar Askarov from climbing the 125-pound rankings.
In the early prelims, another former flyweight title challenger, Tim Elliott, looks to build on a July decision win that ended a three fight losing skid. Elliott faces Jordan Espinosa.
