UFC 239 card in full: UK start time and TV channel for Jon Jones vs Thiago Santos

Jon Jones and Amanda Nunes put their titles on the line in Las Vegas tonight in the biggest UFC event of the year so far.

Nunes, meanwhile, has established herself as one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts with decisive stoppage wins over first Ronda Rousey and then Cris Cyborg.

She takes on Holly Holm who is looking to return to her place at the top of the bantamweight division.

But there is plenty of depth across the whole card, and we have everything you need to know right here...

Jon Jones is open to fighting Daniel Cormier for a third time - if the fans demand it.

Jones has beaten his rival twice but his second victory was ruled a no contest after a failed drug test.

The third installment could happen at heavyweight, but Jones insists he has business to take care of at 205lb.

He told ESPN: "There’s still a lot of interest in me fighting Daniel Cormier for some reason.

I don’t really know what it is. The first time I won by unanimous decision and the second time I won by knockout so I don’t know why people want to see us fight again so bad but at heavyweight I guess that would add a few different factors.

"So yeah, if that’s the fight the world wants to see, I know one thing about the UFC, we give the fans what they want.

"There’s a lot of big fights that people want to see me have in the light heavyweight division so there’s really no need for me to go to heavyweight.

"I’m doing well where I’m at, I’m making weight really easily and I feel like when the UFC approaches me about a fight they feel will be a megafight and they come with the numbers that would make sense for me to do that, I’ll totally do it."
