UFC 249 Preview: Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje, fight card, odds, guide | CBS Sports HQ

The UFC is set to serve its position as one of the first sporting organizations to hold events amid the global pandemic on May 9 from Jacksonville, Florida. Dana White attempted to host UFC 249 on April 18 as the UFC president had originally planned, but was eventually told to “stand down” by Disney and ESPN executives when he moved the event to California. Amid the chaos, two title fights top the marquee.

Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje will headline this event in front of an empty VyStar Memorial Arena with the interim lightweight title on the line
