UFC 259: Who's next for Jan Blachowicz, Israel Adesanya, Amanda Nunes and Aljamain Sterling?

UFC 259 featured some of the expected and some of the unexpected. Jan Blachowicz used his superior grappling and defeated Israel Adesanya to retain the light heavyweight title and Amanda Nunes submitted Megan Anderson to retain her role as champ-champ. Some could have predicted those outcomes, and maybe some would've figured Aljamain Sterling to win as well, but its how Sterling became champion that was a moment to remember on Saturday night. Petr Yan hit Sterling with an illegal knee, causing a disqualification and crowning a new champion at 135 pounds.
