The upcoming UFC 259, which is scheduled to take place on March 6, 2021, has been slightly enhanced with the addition of a bantamweight title fight between division champion Peter Yan and Aljamain Sterling. This is according to a report from MMA Junkie, which says that although the promotion has not yet made the fight official, this is exactly what they are leaning towards.

If this happens, it will be the third title fight scheduled for this event, as it will include a light heavyweight title fight between division champion Jan Blachowicz defending his belt against middleweight champion Yisrael Adesanyi. In addition, Amanda Nunes will defend her featherweight belt against Megan Anderson.
