The UFC showcased a night of two title fights, in the main event of the evening we had a Lightweight Interim Title Bout with the Top Fan Favorite MMA Fighter of the Year, Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson, defending his title at UFC 249 in the Main Event TONIGHT (Sat., May 9, 2020) from inside the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The contender was Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje, who entered the octagon on a three-fight win streak, last defeating Donald Cerrone at UFC on ESPN+ 16 back in Sept. 2019, fighting out of Colorada, with a 21-2 fight record going up against Ferguson’s unprecedented twelve-fight win streak, having also last defeated Donald Cerrone, but at UFC 238 back in June, 2019, with a 25-3 record. Also on the card, was a highly-anticipated Bantamweight Co-Main Event Title scrap, with the current best MMA Bantamweight Fighter, Henry ‘The Messenger’ Cejudo defending the title against contender, Dominick ‘The Dominator’ Cruz; rounding things out, we were also treated to some Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis... what a fun night of fights we had to look forward to!
