UFC 259 Fight Card, Predictions, Odds
The Blachowicz vs. Adesanya fight at UFC 259 is one of the most anticipated matches of the year. Adesanya (a.k.a. “The Last Stylebender”) puts his 20-0-0 undefeated record up against one of the toughest competitors in the league. The Polish champ Blachowicz won’t bend easily, and outsizes Adesanya by 20 pounds, which may or may not be to his advantage.
Adesanya is currently the UFC Middleweight Champion. If he takes home the Light Heavyweight belt at Saturday’s main event, he’ll be the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold two different titles simultaneously. The first person to do that: Conor McGregor. The most recent person to do that: Amanda Nunes, who fights in the UFC 259 co-main event.
The UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship bout pits the current champion Nunes (also the current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion) against Megan Anderson. The women’s title match comes amidst rumors that this may be Nunes’ last featherweight title fight.
The UFC 259 fight card also includes one other title fight, with Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling squaring off for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. While oddsmakers have Adesanya and Nunes as heavy favorites in their respective bouts, betting odds for the Yan vs. Sterling fight are more evenly matched.
The fight card for UFC 259 features two non-title fights: Islam Makhachev vs. Drew Dober in a lightweight matchup, and Aleksandar Rakic vs. Thiago Santos in a light heavyweight fight.
