Now with the main event in place, UFC 249 looks to have added a heavyweight fight between Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik to the card.
It was announced Monday that an interim lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje would headline UFC 249. The event is still without a location or venue and is scheduled to take place next weekend.
The heavyweight booking between Ngannou and Rozenstruik comes after their scheduled main event fight at UFC Columbus last month was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Rozenstruik announced on Twitter the pair will instead meet on April 18th.
