UFC 259 is a memory at this point, and it was an incredible night of fights. The event was highlighted by three title fights and one very crazy title change. In the bantamweight title fight, Petr Yan delivered an illegal knee to Aljamain Sterling and the referee stated it was intentional. Thus, when Sterling was rightfully unable to continue, Yan was disqualified and Sterling was announced the new champion.
