WATCH: UFC Drops a Chilling Promo For Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje

With a lot of uncertainty looming over the future of the UFC lightweight division, a new promotional video for the headliner comes as a sign of relief for fans all over the world.

Guaranteeing fireworks, the star-studded UFC 249 roster is one of the greatest line-ups you will ever see. Earlier today ESPN MMA released the brand new promo via their Twitter account. Looking to create the much-deserved hype around this event.

With the absolutely epic sounds of Gresby Race & Louise Dowd’s The One Exceptions, this promo is a thing of beauty.

The host of top tier talent is not the only reason that gives this event a sense of prestige. It marks an attempt to overcome the Coronavirus epidemic.

Dana White is looking to set the stage for a return to normalcy and set an example for sporting organizations all over the world. So that they follow suit and start organizing events in their respective fields.

“I can’t wait to deliver some great fights for the fans. I want to give a big thanks to Mayor Curry, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and Florida State Boxing Commission Executive Director Patrick Cunningham. For giving us a venue to put on these incredible cards. My team is ready to go. And the fighters are excited to get back in there with these back-to-back events.”- Dana White

At first, Khabib was looking to take on Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. However, travel restrictions forced the fighter aground in Russia. Shortly after the Dagestani fighter pulled out of the fight, Dana White came out saying Justin Gaethje would be replacing the undefeated lightweight champion.

Despite the last-minute call-in to replace Khabib, Justin Gaethje looks to be in great shape and form. Riding high on a three-match win streak, Gaethje looks confident going into this fight. “18 to 19 minutes of pure hell. Pure fury”, as he so rightly puts it.

Tony Ferguson, on the other hand, is looking to capture the interim title for the second time. The top contender in the lightweight division, El Cucuy is coming off an astonishing streak of 12 fights.

Are you as excited about the fight as we are?
