With UFC 249 going down last night, live sports made its long-anticipated return.
We were treated to some pretty good fights, but no fight was better than the bout of Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje.
Gaethje totally dominated Ferguson through grueling rounds, pummeling Ferguson with shot after shot, putting on a show that garnered the attention of the thousands that made the choice to tune in. Ferguson put up a nice fight himself, continuing to stay in the fight despite the repeated shots he took to the head. In the end, though, Gaethje won by TKO in the 5th round, acquiring the interim lightweight title in the process.
What was so interesting to take in however, was the empty crowds in the arena. It almost didn’t feel like a live MMA event was happening, but at the same time, the majority of us seemed to enjoy the entire event a lot more. Personnel outside the ring wore masks, even the fighters’ coaches wore masks, giving us a good idea of the weird times we’re experiencing right about now.
While COVID-19 has robbed us of the usual electric environment, the one area of “entertainment” that wasn’t 100% affected, was the duties of the octagon girl.
But while the octagon girl didn’t have her duties completely shut down, they were limited to an extent. One fan, however, had some constructive criticism on the way the UFC octagon girl was doing her job.
