We’re only in the early days of March, but it’s difficult to imagine the UFC putting together a better card than this one by the end of the year.
Three title fights are set to take place Saturday night, with four champions in action. That discrepancy is due to light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz defending his belt against middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in the UFC 259 main event. It is just the sixth-ever matchup between two active titleholders in UFC history.
Blachowicz became champion in September with an impressive TKO victory over Dominick Reyes to claim the title vacated by longtime light heavyweight king Jon Jones.
