Check out the new video promo for UFC 249: Ferguson vs. Gaethje
The last time the UFC released a video promo for UFC 249, they were forced to cancel the event.
Let’s hope the same doesn’t happen in light of the UFC’s brand new video promo for Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje, which is set to take place at the VyState Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on May 9.
The new promo was released Monday via Twitter.
