UFC's May 9 return has forced plenty of fighters into unusual training circumstances as they navigate local restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.

Justin Gaethje is no exception as he prepares for his interim lightweight title fight against Tony Ferguson. Fortunately, Gaethje had some good karma on his side.

Back in 2018, as Beneil Dariush was getting ready to face Thiago Moises at UFC Fight Night 139 in Denver, Gaethje offered his fellow lightweight a spot to train near his current residence. Now Dariush is paying that kindness back.

Dariush and welterweight champion Kamaru Usman both made their way back to Colorado recently to help Gaethje get ready for UFC 249.
