Fifteen fights are on tap this Saturday night at the UFC APEX Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the UFC returns with its third PPV event of the year.
This time, it’s UFC 259: Blachowicz vs. Adesanya, an event headlined by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout that will see middleweight champion Israel Adesanya attempt to secure his second title when he faces current light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.
The UFC 259 main card also features two other important title fights with Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson for the UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship and Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.
It’s not normal for the UFC to have fifteen fights on one night, but fortunately, this outstanding fight card has remained intact through fight week.
As a result, the UFC 259 start time has been updated to reflect the additional bouts. The UFC 259 prelims start time has now been changed to 5:15 pm (ET) from 6:00 pm (ET).
