LIVE: UFC 249 Weigh-Ins
We are just one day away from UFC 249 actually taking place inside the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on May 9. The UFC will be hosting an event in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. With procedures in place to protect the athletes and the entire staff, the UFC is hoping the event goes off without a hitch.
Today at 9 a.m. ET, the weigh-ins will commence. Highlighted bouts will be Tony Ferguson v. Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC Lightweight Championship. Both will have to make the lightweight limit of 155, which Ferguson just did a few weeks ago. Also, something to look into is the UFC Bantamweight Title fight between Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz. With the latter being away from the octagon since 2016, can he manage to cut 135 again?
