First to bleed: Justin Gaethje vs. Tony Ferguson
There are few things UFC fans more than a bloody battle and the first fighter to draw blood from his opponent always draws some excitement. UFC 249’s main card event will start with Ferguson facing Gaethje and the line is wide open for which fighter will get the first big strike.
- Justin Gaethje – -120
- Tony Ferguson – -120
Will Gaethje/Ferguson winner say “corona” or “COVID” in post-fight interview?
It’s nice to draw first blood, but you don’t get the lightweight interim title for making your opponent bleed. It’s all about who comes out victorious, especially with even more fans watching during the pandemic. After already having the first flight delayed because of the coronavirus, UFC fans can also bet on if the winner will drop the iconic word after his victory.
- Yes – -200
- No – +150
Will Bruce Buffer wear a mask in the octagon during the main card?
The moment Buffer’s iconic voice is heard will be a delight for UFC fans and they could even get a little money from his appearance. If Buffer follows safety protocols and wears a mask in the ring, there’s a great opportunity for people to cash in.
- Yes – +500
- No – -1000
