Even if you didn’t agree with the close decision in the Jon Jones vs. Thiago Santos pay-per-view (PPV) headliner, or if you happen to be a fan of the recently mummified Luke Rockhold and Ben Askren, there’s no denying the UFC 239 mixed martial arts (MMA) event was an exciting affair that produced some wildly entertaining fights.
That’s pretty much all you can ask for when opening your wallet.
Jones defended his light heavyweight title against a surprisingly game “Marreta,” while Amanda Nunes toe-tagged Holly Holm in the women’s bantamweight championship co-headliner. As for Rockhold and Askren, they got buried by Jan Blachowicz and Jorge Masvidal, respectively. And let’s not forget about Michael Chiesa’s dominant performance against welterweight icon, Diego Sanchez.
With so much to talk about in the aftermath of each fight, it’s understandable if you missed some of the top headlines from UFC 239. But no worries, we have them listed below in a convenient link wrap-up that covers most, if not all of the major talking points. Plus, we’ve also got some of the key highlights from all the lights-out finishes.
