We have another highly anticipated event from UFC’s Apex Gym in Las Vegas to look forward to this weekend. This Fight Night promotion is headlined by Jessica Eye versus Cynthia Calvillo.

With two resounding successes in the last week, the UFC will proceed with another event in the VyStars Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

As discussions intensify around the world about easing lockdown restrictions, one question is on a lot of people’s minds – when will sport return? Now, in the grand scheme of things this is a very insignificant worry to have. However, sport is a big part of the day-to-day lives of billions of people around the world and we are eagerly anticipating the day that players can get back on the field, court or diamond. Of course we have had table tennis and Esports to keep us entertained over the last few weeks but that’s not enough for the mainstream. UFC 249 is here to deliver.
