Blachowicz defeats Adesanya at UFC 259

Amanda Nunes was making her seventh UFC title defence - her second at featherweight

But Blachowicz, 38, switched gears in rounds four and five and turned to his wrestling as he took the 31-year-old to the canvas midway through each of the final two rounds, and didn't let the Nigerian-born Kiwi back to his feet as he dominated the action on the canvas. UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya was looking to become a two-weight champion with victory over light-heavyweight title-holder Jan BlachowiczIn the night's co-main event, two-division women's champion Nunes retained her featherweight title with ease as she overwhelmed top contender Megan Anderson with strikes before submitting her with an armbar after just two minutes, three seconds.

The UFC bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling produced one of the most controversial finishes in recent memory as Sterling was crowned champion after defending champ Yan was disqualified in the fourth round.
