With that in mind, Dana White, president of the UFC, even suggested that he'd <a href="https://www.insider.com/dana-whites-fight-island-will-be-ready-in-may-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purchase a private island to keep UFC matches going</a> during the health crisis.</p><p>"Fight Island" is certainly an intriguing headline, but it turns out that the league has been able to get UFC 249 back on track while still remaining stateside. Though the match was originally set to occur on April 18 in New York, UFC 249 will now be held in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, May 9. While there will be no fans present at the fight, UFC 249 will be aired live as a PPV event through the <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">ESPN+ platform</a>. </p><p>The main card originally included a matchup between Khabib Nurmagomedov, arguably the best fighter in the world, and Tony Ferguson, the top Lightweight contender. However, due to travel restrictions, Khabib is now being replaced in the main card by Justin Gaethje, the fourth-ranked Lightweight fighter. Both fighters are on a win-streak, with Ferguson winning his last 12 fights and Gaethje winning his last three. </p><p>Some other notable athletes joining Ferguson and Gaethje on the main card include the current Bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo, who will defend his title against former champion Dominick Cruz. Additionally, some of the top Heavyweight fighters in the world, Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, will face off in the octagon. </p><h2>Here's the entire list of fights happening at <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener nofollow sponsored">UFC 249</a></h2><p><div type="image" title="Henry Cejudo fighter of the year" height="1334" width="1778" msid="75612327" hostid="261"></div></p><h3>Early Prelims (Airing on UFC Fight Pass, starting at 6:30 p.m. ET)</h3><ul><li>Vicente Luque vs Niko Price</li><li>Bryce Mitchell vs Charles Rosa</li><li>Ryan Spann vs Sam Alvey</li></ul><h3>Prelims (Airing on <keyword id="56400" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="ESPN">ESPN</keyword> and ESPN+, starting at 8 p.m. ET)</h3><ul><li>Anthony Pettis vs Donald Cerrone</li><li>Aleksei Oleinik vs Fabricio Werdum</li><li>Carla Esparza vs Michelle Waterson</li><li>Uriah Hall vs Ronaldo Souza</li></ul><h3>Main Card (Airing on <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">ESPN+</a>, starting at 10 p.m. ET)</h3><ul><li>Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje</li><li>Henry Cejudo vs Dominick Cruz</li><li>Francis Ngannou vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik</li><li>Jeremy Stephens vs Calvin Kattar</li><li>Greg Hardy vs Yorgan De Castro</li></ul><p><div type="image" title="What is ESPN+ 4x3" height="900" width="1200" msid="75612328" hostid="261"></div></p><h2>How to watch <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">UFC 249</a></h2><p>The main card for UFC 249 is being aired exclusively through the <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ESPN+ UFC PPV platform</a> on May 9, meaning that you have to subscribe to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-is-espn-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ESPN+ sports-streaming service</a> before you're able to purchase the event.</p><p>You can access the ESPN+ app on all major mobile and connected TV devices, including Amazon Fire, Apple, Android, Chromecast, PS4, Xbox One, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, and more. </p><h2>Pricing</h2><p>There are a few different options available to fans looking to purchase the <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/QLBko" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener nofollow sponsored">UFC 249 PPV fight</a>.</p><p>If you're a new subscriber, you can sign up for a seven-day free trial of ESPN+ and then purchase the event for $64.99.
