Jan Blachowicz will defend the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 259 against Israel Adesanya

At the upcoming UFC 259 pay-per-view, Jan Blachowicz will put his UFC light heavyweight belt on the line for the first time since winning the title. At UFC 253, Blachowicz won the vacant title by beating Dominick Reyes.

At the same pay-per-view, Blachowicz challenger at UFC 259, Israel Adesanya, defeated Paulo Costa to retain his UFC middleweight title in the main event.

The UFC 259 main event will mark Adesanya's first fight at light heavyweight. The reigning 185-lbs champion will be moving up a weight class and is aiming to become the latest entrant in the UFC double champion club.

The Last Stylebender won the middleweight title when he beat Robert Whittaker at UFC 243 to mark his first UFC title win. This weekend at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Adesanya will aim to make history in one of the most stacked UFC cards of all time.

UFC 259 will also feature two other title fights. Amanda Nunes will defend her UFC featherweight title against Megan Anderson, whereas Petr Yan will defend the UFC bantamweight championship against Aljamain Sterling.

The rest of the card will feature the likes of Islam Makhachev, Thiago Santos, Aleksandar Rakic, and former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.
