The UFC returned to pay-per-view last weekend with UFC 249 in Jacksonville, Florida with a championship doubleheader. Justin Gaethje pulled off an impressive upset in the main event with a stunning upset of Tony Ferguson to claim the interim lightweight championship.
In the co-main event of the night, Henry Cejudo successfully defended his bantamweight title before unexpectedly announcing his retirement from mixed martial arts.
The event marked the UFC’s return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic.
