UFC 259 is the first of the two designated Pay-Per-Views of the month and is scheduled to take place on March 6. It is a much-awaited event in terms of glory quotient and will feature some of the finest Mixed Martial Artists.
A total of 15 fights are embedded in the fight card, which includes 3 feature fights of championship value. The grand finale of the night is the distinctive, champion vs. champion bout between the middleweight titleholder Israel Adesanya and the Light Heavyweight king Jan Blachowicz. Backing the headliner is the huge Co-main event that will witness the return of the Lioness. Amanda Nunes will come out to defend the Featherweight title against Megan Anderson.
While the main event and co-main are enough to draw the attention of every fight fan, the matchmakers decided to extend the treat by attaching the long standby Bantamweight encounter between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling.
