UFC 249 LIVE: Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje latest, undercard fight results, coronavirus news
UFC returns to action tonight with an action-packed card of action from Florida.
The mixed martial arts organisation comes back after a coronavirus-enforced hiatus on Saturday night in Jacksonville with a 11-fight bill headlined by Tony Ferguson’s clash against Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title. The event will go ahead behind closed doors, but that hasn’t made it immune from criticism with the Covid-19 related death toll in the United States alone approaching 75,000.
UFC president Dana White says the first live major sports event on US soil in nearly two months is “as safe as it can possibly be”. Saturday’s event will be the first of three at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in eight days. Follow live coverage below:
