    https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/29094417/ufc-schedules-three-fight-cards-led-ufc-249-9-florida-no-fans

    Confirmation that UFC 249 will be in Florida with no audience on the 9th of May

    Two more cards at the same location on the 13th and 16th. No announcement on fights yet.

    Another US card on the 23rd with no location confirmed. I suspect they are hoping that Vegas will allow this at the UFC headquarters

    'Fight Island' should be ready in June for cards with international fighters. Fighters will be spread amongst multiple hotels and the octagon will be on a beach.
    I think there'll be some Kiwi's & Aussies on the first island event because it'll happen around the time of the postponed Perth card

        So many good fights on this card. Despite that, most of my picks are the favourites.

        The only non favourite I've gone for (ignoring the early pre-lims) is Cruz over Cejudo.

        It'll be a massive surprise if the main event is a dud.
        Ferguson is a freak. I think he'll enjoy the chaos of a Gaethje fight and he'll get a stoppage in the 3rd. Probably an elbow..

          If Cruz is 100% healthy then it could be a contest. Otherwise a beating.

          Main Event won't get out of Round 1.

          Can't wait.

            ..and has no ring rust. But of course Cruz claims there is no such thing

            I’m still sceptical of Cejudo at 135 despite the Moraes win.

              It’s going to be especially hard to watch a day of sport on Mother’s Day but I like a challenge....

                    Ngannou shows off his scary power.

                    The ufc really want him to be champ. I hope they don’t strip Miocic.. they need a rematch

                      I was picking Cruz to win with a knee, not Cejudo...

                      The stoppage wasn’t as bad as Cruz is claiming

                          Amazing fight. Gaethje has improved so much and Ferguson has an inhuman chin. I'm happy that Herb stopped it when he did

                          We'll probably never see Khabib v Tony now :disappointed_face:

                            Well that was worth waiting for.

                            Masterclass from Gaethje.

                            Thank you Uncle Dana.

                              Another great card

                              Lots of fighters putting their hands up

                              Big main bout

                                Had some long over due yard work to do so just watching the replay of the prelims now and the the main card. Not bad so far.

                                  UFC Fight Night 172

                                  Excellent Prelim Card

                                  Some good bouts on the Main Card

                                  The UFC fighters who've fought in the past 8 days haven't spent Lockdown eating and watching Netflix.

                                  Very impressed.

                                  Will be interesting to see if other sportsmen return to work as prepared.

                                    Thought Barboza won and easily. Also thought Angela Hill won. Not quite robberies but I was scratching my head.

                                    Overall card was great.

                                        I'm surprised about the lack of fights announced for the May 30th fight night or UFC 250. White was promising more announcements a couple of days ago

                                        I wonder if they cancel the fight night and put them all on the PPV?

                                          Woodley Vs Burns is the fight no one asked for and no one wanted to see. Woodley vs Covington or Woodley vs Usman 2 or Covington vs Usman 2 or Woodley vs Street Jesus or Street Jesus vs Covington...all on a ppv at a later date would be preferable to this
