Conor McGregor sends best wishes to everyone involved with UFC 249
The “Notorious” tweeted, “I wish all my fighting partners healthy foods as they host tonight’s program for us! Good luck and God speed up the men and women. From the competitors to the cleaners. Thank you all. Also prayers for Jacare Souza and his team to fully recover. “

UFC 249 features a stacked fight of eleven fights. It involves an interim fight for the lightweight championship between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje. The co-main event sees Henry Cejudo defend his Bantamweight Championship against the return of Dominick Cruz.
“Notorious” seems to have discarded all the animosity and given wishes where it’s due. Her social media battles with “The Messenger” are well documented with “Triple C” without missing an opportunity to tease her fighting skills.
In addition to this, there is a heavyweight clash between Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
While longing for the 22 fighters, ‘Notorious’ even found time to talk about the unfortunate Ronaldo Souza.
The 40-year-old fighter tested positive for the coronavirus and was subsequently removed from the event. He has already stepped in and appeared in a showdown with Uriah Hall on Friday. However, there was an abnormally large gap between the two. In addition to this, “Jacare” had a mask and gloves. He was very close to Dana White, but there are no reports that the UFC president has contracted the virus.
According to Dana White, the positive test only highlights that the system that the UFC has in operation is working. This can go a long way in encouraging fighters to return when the promotion changes their base to Fight Island.
