When International Fight Week 2019 rolls around, there will only be one event instead of the two or three we’ve seen in previous years. On Saturday, July 6th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, UFC 239 will feature a doubleheader of title fights. The main event pits light heavyweight king Jon Jones against dangerous striker Thiago Santos, while two-division champion Amanda Nunes defends her bantamweight belt vs. former champ Holly Holm.

Also featured is a grudge match of sorts between welterweight contenders Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren, as well as the light heavyweight debut of ex-middleweight champion Luke Rockhold against veteran Polish contender Jan Blachowicz. Also keep an eye on a potentially resurgent Diego Sanchez looking for a third straight win, as he takes on Michael Chiesa in a welterweight battle.

The fight card is almost completed and no bout order has been set beyond the main and co-main event, but this looks like a damn good night of action.
