UFC 249: Full results

Catch the full results and news stories from UFC 249 here on MMAnytt.

UFC 249 takes place tonight at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, Saturday, May 9th. Tony Ferguson will face Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title in the main event. The two have salvaged the original event which was planned for Brooklyn, New York on April 18th. Reigning lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was forced out of his original main event title defence with Ferguson. Now the interim strap is on the line as Ferguson and Gaethje face off in what is guaranteed to be barn burner.
