Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently held a special pre-fight press conference (watch it) for the upcoming UFC 259: “Blachowicz vs. Adesanya” pay-per-view (PPV) event, going down on March 6, 2021, inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Taking center stage was Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who collides with current 205-pound kingpin, Jan Blachowicz, in a Light Heavyweight title fight. “The Last Stylebender” hopes to become the promotion’s latest champ-champ, while Blachowicz is in search of his first-ever title defense.
Also getting some media love were co-headliners Amanda Nunes and Megan Anderson, who will collide in a women’s Featherweight title fight, while Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling finally got the chance to come face-to-face ahead of their Bantamweight title bout.
