On paper, UFC 239 was one of the most stacked main cards of the year but just putting a bunch of great fights together doesn’t always mean it will deliver once the action get started.
Thankfully this event paid off in huge dividends with a slew of exciting performances including a trio of brutal knockouts that decorated the middle of the card.
In the main event, Jon Jones defended his light heavyweight title in a razor-close split decision against Thiago Santos, who walked into the fight as a massive underdog but walked out just one round away from dethroning arguably the greatest fighter in mixed martial arts history.
