Just days ahead of the UFC 249 pay-per-view (PPV) fight card, which takes place this Sat. night (May 9, 2020) inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, the promotion has released the cold video opening for its Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje-led mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which also features the bantamweight championship showdown between Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz.

Narrated by Ron Pearlman, of course.

UFC 249 is the first of three shows within the next two weeks. Following the May 9 extravaganza, the promotion will return on Weds., May 13 for “Smith vs. Teixeira,” then again on Sat., May 16, with “Overeem vs. Harris.” Remember, the coronavirus pandemic has made this a very fluid situation, so don’t be surprised to see a couple of last-minute changes in the days ahead.
