The UFC on ESPN 9 weigh-ins are coming at you live today (May 29).
Tomorrow night, the UFC will make its return to Las Vegas. The promotion is set to hold an event inside the UFC APEX. This event was cleared by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after lifting a ban on sporting events due to the coronavirus pandemic.
