Who’s fighting?
Tony Ferguson (25-3-0) vs. Justin Gaethje (21-2-0)
Two of the very best in the lightweight division will square off at UFC 249 in the main event. Tony Ferguson looks to continue his ascension up the ranks, hoping to bounce back from a knee injury that hampered his most recent title quest. For Gaethje, this would be the biggest victory of his career, as he would play spoiler for an eventual Ferguson fight with either Khabib or Conor McGregor. Ferguson comes into this fight as the heavy favorite, but he has yet to face an opponent of Gaethje’s caliber since returning from injury.
