However, while the card was canceled, it didn’t stop Ferguson from making the championship weight limit of 155 pounds.
Ferguson posted the following video of him making weight earlier today on Twitter, coming in at 155 pounds:

Luckily for both Ferguson and Gaethje, both will still meet on May 9 in the main event of the rescheduled UFC 249 card, which still doesn’t have a location at this time.
