It took a few exciting bends in the road, yet UFC 249 is at last set to get in progress.
The occasion was initially planned for April 18 in Brooklyn, yet the UFC needed to locate another setting after the coronavirus shut down New York, and a great part of the nation. UFC president Dana White attempted to keep a similar date yet move the occasion to the Tachi Palace Resort Casino in Lemoore, Calif., in any case needed to defer the card.
At last, following quite a while of attempting to figure out how to push ahead, White had the option to locate another date and site for UFC 249, for May 9 in Jacksonville, Fla.
The exceptionally foreseen card is featured by Tony Ferguson (25-3) and Justin Gaethje (21-2) for the between time lightweight title. Khabib Nurmagomedov was Ferguson's unique adversary, however he was supplanted by Gaethje as a result of movement limitations not permitting him to leave his local Russia in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
In any case, the Ferguson versus Gaethje fight will give a lot of fervor, and the victor will have a shot at Nurmagomedov. What's more, the remainder of the card has bounty to offer — the UFC is considering it the most stacked card in its history — including a co-headliner of Henry Cejudo versus Dominic Cruz for the bantamweight title.
