Dana White Won’t Reveal Details, But Claims Closed-Door Venue Set for UFC 249

UFC 249 has a location, but Dana White isn’t ready to reveal all the details just yet.

“I do [know where it is],” White said in an Instagram Live interview with Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Iole. “But I’m not ready to tell you yet. I know lots of things. … There’s not going to be any fans there. It’s going to be a closed event.”

UFC 249 takes place on April 18 and features a lightweight championship showdown between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. Uncertainty has surrounded the card since the coronavirus outbreak forced the promotion to postpone events slated for March 21, March 28 and April 11.
