JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – All UFC 249 pre-fight media obligations are complete after Friday’s faceoffs, which featured a wide range of scenes over the 12-fight card.
Tony Ferguson brought his belt to his main event staredown with Justin Gaethje, while Henry Cejudo committed some on-brand antics when up close with Dominick Cruz ahead of their co-main event clash.
The standout from the non-title bouts went to the middleweight prelim matchup between [autotag]Ronaldo Souza[/autotag] (26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) and [autotag]Uriah Hall[/autotag] (15-9 MMA, 8-7 UFC), who wore personal protective equipment and stood well apart as the coronavirus pandemic continues to be present in the world. They, of course, won’t have that option on fight night, as they’ll be locked inside the octagon.
