UFC 249: Daniel Cormier’s cageside tour shows how different things will be tonight

The UFC is back in action tonight for the first time since March 14, even though a fighter, Jacare Souza, and two of his cornermen tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday night.

But the show is still going on tonight in Jacksonville, Fla. with a title fight between Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz as the co-main event and an interim title fight between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje as the main event.

No fans will be inside the Jacksonville Arena and the cageside setup will be a lot different than normal as they rightfully set it up with social distancing rules in place.

Daniel Cormier, who will be calling the fights with Jon Anik and Joe Rogan, gave a tour of the setup a few hours before UFC 249 begins. The announcers will all be sitting apart from each other, as will the others who will be cageside.

Check this out:

This should be an interesting night fights. Hopefully it’s entertaining and everyone comes out of it OK.
