When is UFC 249 Khabib vs Ferguson Fight ?.
UFC 249 was set to be held in Brooklyn in New York, but this will not be the case anymore because of the coronavirus.
UFC 249 is STILL set for Saturday, April 18 but UFC boss Dana White said the location will changed.
The current rule in the US has banned gatherings of more than 10 people inside, meaning the card will have to be on behind close doors if on in the country.
White has insisted Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson will go ahead with “10 people in the room” and blasted “wimpiest” critics who have called for the fight to be axed amid the pandemic.
He explained to ESPN: “We’re gonna follow these guidelines to not have more than 10 people in a room and we’re hoping that this all clears up by April.
