MMA fight cards don't get much bigger than Saturday night's offering for UFC 259 in Las Vegas. A trio of titles will be on the line with four champions in action from the UFC APEX and fans can't wait to see how it all goes down. This card has really only two close comparisons when it comes to stacking title fights together -- UFC 217 in 2017 that saw three titles at stake and UFC 205 in 2016 . This main event will see middleweight champion Israel Adesanya head to the light heavyweight division to challenge 205-pound champion Jan Blachowicz in the Pol's first title defense. The co-main event features two-division champ Amanda Nunes defending her women's featherweight title against Megan Anderson. Bantamweight champion Petr Yan will also defend his 135-pound title on the card, taking on top contender Aljamain Sterling. Nunes has yet to be truly challenged in a fight since losing to Cat Zingano by TKO in 2014.
The heavyweight title will go up for grabs on March 27 when reigning champion Stipe Miocic faces Francis Ngannou in a rematch at UFC 260. The highly anticipated showdown has been targeted for March for several weeks but only now has the fight been made official with the athletes putting pen to paper. Multiple sources confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Saturday following an initial report from ESPN. For Miocic, this will be his first fight since completing a trilogy against Daniel Cormier that saw the Ohio native fall in their initial meeting before beating the two-time Olympian in back-to-back contests. Miocic is widely considered the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time and that fact was only strengthened when he dominated Ngannou in their first meeting back in 2018.
