This Saturday’s UFC 259 card features three title fights: the dominant Amanda Nunes defends her featherweight championship against Megan Anderson, bantamweight champion Petr Yan meets Aljamain Sterling and, in the main event, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is moving up in weight class to challenge light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.
UFC president Dana White has high expectations for Saturday’s card, and there are significant ramifications depending on the outcomes. If Adesanya defeats Blachowicz, then he will be undefeated with championships from two different weight classes—and will be poised to make the move to heavyweight for a highly anticipated clash with Jon Jones.
