How to watch UFC 249: TV channel and live stream for Ferguson vs Gaethje and Cejudo vs Cruz
Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje clash for the interim lightweight title tonight in Florida while Dominick Cruz takes on bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo in the co-main event
The UFC is back in business with a stacked card tonight as Tony Ferguson takes on Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title.
Ferguson was due to face 155lb champion Khabib Nurmagomedov last month but the Russian has been unable to secure a flight to America.
That was the fifth time that particular fight had fallen apart and Ferguson is now risking his shot at the champion by taking on the dangerous Gaethje.
In the co-main event, Dominick Cruz returns after a 40-month absence to challenge bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo.
Cruz is another who is taking advantage of a failed visa attempt after Jose Aldo was forced to pull out his fight against Cejudo.
