UFC 249 is finally upon us with a stacked fight card after overcoming a number of obstacles.

After the coronavirus caused the original event to be scrapped at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last month, Dana White has finally got the all-clear to get his stars back in the Octagon.

It will be the first major sporting event to take place following the Covid-19 outbreak.

Now they have the green light, UFC will host three shows in eight days in Jacksonville, Florida.

And those look set to be followed by a series of pay-per-views held on White’s specially constructed “Fight Island”.

But it all gets underway this Saturday night with a number of blockbuster bouts, and SunSport is here to bring you the very latest odds from Betfair ahead of it in case you fancied a flutter.


Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje

Ex-interim lightweight champ Ferguson is aiming to become a two-time interim title holder in the main event.

He is the No.1-ranked fighter in the rankings and is currently tied with Khabib Nurmagomedov for the longest active winning streak in the UFC lightweight division with 12 consecutive victories.

Gaethje (4-2), who was 17-0 before signing with the UFC, is No.4 in the 155-pound weight class and has produced three straight first round knockouts.

Odds

Outcome: Ferguson – 4/7 Gaethje – 13/8
