Looks like the coronavirus will not be starving fight fans of entertainment any longer! All thanks to the persevering UFC Boss. Moreover, he did not just overcome all possible hurdles that a deadly pandemic could throw his way, but also made UFC 249 the “most stacked” card.

The event will be headlined by the Interim Lightweight title bout between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje. Usually, a regular fight card of a UFC fight night would hold only one event of such staggering magnitude. Yet, the fight card for UFC 249 is filled with them.

Unfortunately, recent reports suggest that Rose Namajunas has pulled out of her fight due to undisclosed reasons. Nevertheless, fights like Francis Ngannou vs. Rozenstruik, Jeremy Stephens vs. Clavin Kattar and many more promise to make UFC 249 the most memorable fight night yet.
