UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will make his next title defense against Thiago Santos at UFC 239 on July 6 in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White told ESPN.

The 205-pound bout will headline the pay-per-view event, which will take place at T-Mobile Arena. Additional sources confirmed bout agreements have not been signed, but all parties have verbally agreed.

Additionally, dual-division champion Amanda Nunes will defend her 135-pound bantamweight title against Holly Holm in the co-main event of UFC 239. Verbal agreements are in place for that fight as well, according to sources.

Sounds great but I'll hold the bulk of my excitement till they are in the cage.

Seems like the kind of matchups that will fall thru last second.

Mousasi fuckin outwrestled Santos for god sake.

Easy fight for Juicy.

When ever Juicy feels like it he will clinch / takedown ..sub Santos with ease.

This fight was made to pad the record before jumping to HW.

Holly's catching a break here, and could pull off the upset.
If it actually happens, it's worth the spread they're gonna give Nunes to put a fair chunk of change on Holly.

I am a Holly fan so I’m happy she is getting this matchup. Unfortunately for her, she is fighting the WMMA GOAT in her prime.

As for Jones, I would have much preferred the Stipe fight. I don’t think Santos has any better chance than Smith did against Jon.

Didn't nunes say she's retiring in another fight or two?

Giving Holly title shots over and over again is turning the division into a farce. GDR should be next in a rematch to settle the undisputed 145 champ.

He's fighting the top contenders.

The fight was made because Santos is the #1 contender.

Anything to take a little shine away from Jonny's win, eh?

Correct, it's not Jones' fault that LHW is a wasteland. Santos will get wrecked but he's all they've got.

It is Jones' fault that he's pussied out of going to HW though.

He did offer to move up that one time vs Stipe.
