UFC 249 is finally set to push ahead behind closed doors on May 9 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. However, while the event is back on, there won't be any fans in attendance for Saturday's fights for safety reasons. The main event will feature a fight between №1 ranked lightweight contender Tony Ferguson and №4 ranked Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight championship.
The co-main event will feature bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo, defending his title against Dominick Cruz.
Outside the two titles fights, this card runs deep. Among the prelims that stand out is the heavyweight clash between Russian fighter Aleksei Oleinik and former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum.
