Watch UFC 249 live stream online tonight: Ferguson vs Gaethje viewing guide - GamesRadar

The UFC 249 live stream is just a few hours away now and the drama for the sporting event really has been a rollercoaster. Despite some very last-minute alterations, the already very changed UFC PPV event is still going ahead. We'll help you out so you have everything you need to watch Ferguson vs Gaethje online tonight, as well as the full fight card.

Due to the on-going issues with Covid-19, the fight has been chopped, changed, moved and Dana White has even pulled out suggestions of moving it to a remote island...sounds about White. One of tonight's prelim events, Uriah Hall vs Ronaldo Souza, has been canceled due to Souza testing positive for Coronavirus. All other fighters and staff have got the all-clear though and are receiving regular testing to be on the safe side. 

Covid-19 had already caused UFC 249 to be delayed numerous times as organizer Dana White struggled to find a country or city that would allow him to bring the show to town. Someone channeled their inner Jason Mendoza though and Jacksonville, Florida is the venue for tonight. Thankfully, for the safety of local fight fans, the event will be a behind closed doors affair.

The UFC team has gone ahead and merged both UFC 249 and the planned 250 events for an unbelievable selection of fights in one single night. The UFC 249 live stream will see Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje (stepping in to replace Khabib) as the headline fight. But also on the main card is a headline-worthy battle between Bantamweight Cejudo and Cruz - two legends of UFC.

To really solidify the level of talent being pulled off in this event, Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis have been knocked down to the prelims...that's a fight anyone would expect to show in the main card. We've detailed every bout for UFC 249's Early Prelims, Prelims, and Main Card events below. Straight after that, we've listed viewing options around the world on how to watch a UFC 249 live stream online.
