Watch: Daniel Cormier Gives a Sneak-Peek Behind the Scenes at UFC 249

Before UFC 249, Daniel Cormier gave an inside view of the arena.

The UFC is back! It is one of the major sporting events to resume its activities amidst a global pandemic. After weeks of no action, the company stacked one of the most talent-filled cards in UFC history. From top to bottom, there is absolutely no doubt that this card will deliver.

We are just hours away from the most violent main event in UFC history. How did the company pull off such an event? Well, they didn’t break any rules for sure. The company President, Dana White found a way around the current sets of law to make this happen. Daniel Cormier showed us how social distancing guidelines will be followed.

Just like the UFC Brasilia event, the VyStar Veterans memorial arena in Jacksonville, Florida will have no audience as well. As expected, everybody has their desks kept at a distance. Dana White and the matchmakers won’t be sitting together either.

Cormier and his broadcast partners, Joe Rogan and Jon Anik are separated too. Even the commissioners, cutman, and the corner teams are kept at bay.

It seems like the UFC got a proper system in place and is following the laws strictly. As most of us are aware, Jacare Souza was pulled from his scheduled bout against Uriah Hall due to a positive COVID-19 test but this only indicates that the system is working.

Must-see fights

Yes! The UFC has an amazing card ahead of them. The main event between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje is a huge bout in itself. The fight will decide the next contender to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed title. The co main-event will feature Dominick Cruz vs Henry Cejudo for the bantamweight strap.

Besides these two fights, there are a ton of great matchups to look forward to. Francis Ngannou vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik will be fireworks (or not). It’s worth a watch. Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis will face off against each other in the main event of the prelims on ESPN, that’s a rematch you might not want to miss.
