    The new York commission already cancelled Mick Conlons fight so 249 will not be happening, especially if they can't move it to Apex.

    I think it will probably be moved there also. They haven't announced anything as it's a little further off. Being very optimistic

    The NSAC have suspended all events in Vegas so they won't be able to move it there.

    Dana White needs to be jailed until we are clear of covid-19. He clearly doesn't care about anything but money.

    Lets be honest with the lack of sport availible if the Ufc was to go ahead with Ufc 249 it would do massive box office.

    There is a Cage Warriors event (currently) on this weekend in London. They are looking to take some of the cancelled UFC fights into their card.

    Fair balls to Leon Edwards. Absolutely right choice in respect of his team and their families etc. Must have been a heartbreaker. Not to mention doubtless stupid pressure from White/UFC.

    God bless Dana White for not giving up. What a treat it would be to see Covington v Woodley next weekend, itd do big numbers too with the lack of any live sport on around the world

    I'd imagine that's the main motivation behind it, with nothing on it should in theory do mental numbers

    The next three events have been postponed.

    I really can't see 249 going ahead either.

    Tony v Khabib really is cursed. The MMA gods gave us Corona virus for daring to make that fight for a fifth time.

    Current date for 249 is right before Ramadan. If it slides out at all. It will push to July or August.

    Commnets are on the right side.
    Dana White on the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson fight scheduled on April 18 ... “That fight will happen. It will go on. The fans are all freaking out about that, do not worry. Khabib vs. Tony will happen.”
