UFC 259 live stream: how to watch Adesanya vs Blachowicz online

You won't want to miss the UFC 259 live stream tonight as it's one of the best main cards we've seen all year with three title bouts on the line. So if you want to watch Adesanya vs Blachowicz, we've got everything you need wherever you are in the world.

The early prelims are just getting underway, but you've got hours to go before the main card kicks off for UFC 259 in Las Vegas. The main event will see Israel Adesanya take his shot at becoming the fifth fighter to join the champ-champ club, but standing light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has fought hard for this title and isn’t going to give it up easily. 

Should Adesanya take the belt, however, he will become the first to hold both a middleweight and light heavyweight title at the same time. It’s a tantalizing prospect for the middleweight champion, with an impressive start to his MMA career earning him third place in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings and a stunning 20-0 record. 

Defending titleholder Jan Blachowicz, however, has earned his place in tonight's fight as well. This will be his first title defense in the UFC and on paper Adesanya’s sparkling record puts Blachowicz at a severe disadvantage. However, after knocking out former champion Dominick Reyes to claim his spot on the top the bookies’ underdog had certainly surprised critics before. 

However, the co-main event is shaping up to be just as intense as this light heavyweight battle. Should Adesanya win, he’ll be joining Amanda Nunes in the champ-champ hall of fame and she’s looking to defend the featherweight title that put her there this Saturday. One of the greats, Nunes has victories over the likes of Cris Cyborg, Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko and Holly Holm under her belt already. She’ll be joined in the Octagon by Megan Anderson, who’s looking to upset ‘The Lioness’ after first-round finishes in her last two bouts. 

Two incredible bouts are on the cards for tonight, then, so read on to find out how to live stream UFC 259.
