UFC releases UFC 249 show open with Ron Perlman
UFC 249 will go down as one of the most tumultuous events in MMA history. But you won’t know that from the promotional video that kicks off the show.
The promotion on Sunday released the video package that opens the May 9 event, and there’s nary a mention of the circumstances that led to the lineup on display at VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla,, to say nothing of the global coronavirus pandemic that led it there. The key point? The UFC is back.
