UFC returns May 9 with first of 3 cards in Florida
An interim lightweight championship fight between Tony Ferguson (25-3) and Justin Gaethje (21-2) will headline UFC 249, which will take place in Jacksonville, Florida, without fans as a pay-per-view event on May 9.
Confirmation that UFC 249 will be in Florida with no audience on the 9th of May
Two more cards at the same location on the 13th and 16th. No announcement on fights yet.
Another US card on the 23rd with no location confirmed. I suspect they are hoping that Vegas will allow this at the UFC headquarters
'Fight Island' should be ready in June for cards with international fighters. Fighters will be spread amongst multiple hotels and the octagon will be on a beach.
I think there'll be some Kiwi's & Aussies on the first island event because it'll happen around the time of the postponed Perth card -
Two more sleeps

Sport to watch!
So many good fights on this card. Despite that, most of my picks are the favourites.
The only non favourite I've gone for (ignoring the early pre-lims) is Cruz over Cejudo.
It'll be a massive surprise if the main event is a dud.
Ferguson is a freak. I think he'll enjoy the chaos of a Gaethje fight and he'll get a stoppage in the 3rd. Probably an elbow.. -

Main Event won't get out of Round 1.
Can't wait.

..and has no ring rust. But of course Cruz claims there is no such thing
I’m still sceptical of Cejudo at 135 despite the Moraes win.

On like Donkey Kong

UFC Fight Night 172
Excellent Prelim Card
Some good bouts on the Main Card
The UFC fighters who've fought in the past 8 days haven't spent Lockdown eating and watching Netflix.
Very impressed.
Will be interesting to see if other sportsmen return to work as prepared.

Through Barboza won and easily. Also though Angela Hill won. Not quite robberies but I was scratching my head.
Overall card was great.
Agreed on both
-
Woodley Vs Burns is the fight no one asked for and no one wanted to see. Woodley vs Covington or Woodley vs Usman 2 or Covington vs Usman 2 or Woodley vs Street Jesus or Street Jesus vs Covington...all on a ppv at a later date would be preferable to this
