Jon Jones has teased a potential move to the heavyweight division in the past but it has never materialized with the champion preferring to stay in the 205-pound division to defend his belt and build on his legacy. However, Jones says if the money is right and the fans want a mega fight at heavyweight, he’ll listen to offers. Amanda Nunes returns to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 239 to defend her bantamweight belt for the first time since becoming the first women’s dual-division champion, and does not expect challenger Holly Holm to stand and trade with her. Thiago Santos has a huge task ahead of him this weekend at UFC 239 when he attempts to shock the world by dethroning the most dominant light heavyweight in UFC history in Jon Jones. After Holly Holm shocked the world with her head-kick knockout of Ronda Rousey in 2015, many believed she would be the new face of women’s MMA for years to come. It was not to be.

Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Jordan Young will return to action for the first time in seven months when he meets Joel Bauman at Bellator 224.

Darren Till is on a two-fight losing streak and coming off of a knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC London back in March. But, the Englishman promises he will return to the Octagon by year’s end and right the wrong of his last two fights. Both Francis Ngannou and Joseph Benavidez appeared to solidify their positions as No. 1 contender in their respective divisions at
