UFC 259 Pay-Per-View is in the books now which went down last night (Sat., Mar. 6, 2021) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main headliner, polish power Jan Blachowicz upsets UFC’s reigning middleweight kingpin Israel Adesanya in a light heavyweight title fight.
In the co-main event, Amanda Nunes successfully defended UFC women’s featherweight title by scoring a first-round submission (triangle armbar) victory over former Invicta FC champion Megan Anderson.

Told you so as did every judge. The commentary was unbelievably biased tonight.

I feel like this is 1-1 But I feel like commentary is leaning hard towards Izzy
