VIDEO | ‘We’re Back’ UFC Release New Promo For May 9 Event
The UFC has released a promo video promoting their upcoming event scheduled to take place on May 9 in Jacksonville, Florida.
UFC 249 was originally set to go down on April 18. Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was going to defend his title against Tony Ferguson at the event. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and subsequent travel issues forced him to withdraw from the fight. Justin Gathje stepped in but card was eventually postponed due after an intervention from the governor of California Gavin Newsom.
Last week a full fight card was announced for the rescheduled event which will now take place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
