UFC 239 comes live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, July 6th. With it comes two title defenses from a pair of fighters who have shown unprecedented dominance within their corners of the sport.
The main event includes the refreshingly active Jon Jones, who will look to defend his UFC light heavyweight belt for the second time; since reclaiming the title in a bout with Alexander Gustafsson last year. Jones’ challenger this time around is former middleweight Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos. The Brazilian earned his shot at ‘Bones’ after clubbing his way to victory in the first three 205 lb fights of his UFC career (versus Eryk Anders, Jimi Manuwa, and Jan Blachowicz).
