The best ever? Jones, Nunes could make cases at UFC 239
Associated PressLAS VEGAS — Any attempt to choose the most dominant active fighter in mixed martial arts inevitably leads to a choice between two champions: Jon Jones or Amanda Nunes. Right before Jones defends his light heavyweight title against Brazil’s Thiago Santos in the main event at T-Mobile Arena, Nunes faces former champion Holly Holm in the fourth defense of her bantamweight belt. “It has its drama, and I’m hoping it has a happy ending.” Nunes is fighting for the first time since she became a two-division champion with her stunning 51-second knockout of Cris “Cyborg” Justino. I’ve been here before.” The two title fights are just the main attractions on a star-studded card for the UFC’s annual International Fight Week pay-per-view show. “I had somebody ask me to turn his face into a sinkhole, to leave one side of his face no longer looking like the other side.” RETURN OF THE ROCK: Former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold makes his light heavyweight debut in his return from a 17-month absence against Poland’s Jan Blachowicz.
