UFC 249 is scheduled for April 18th as of right now, but the card seems more and more doomed as each day passes. With lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov stuck in Russia due to the travel restrictions the country has imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, literally everything is up in the air now, including a main event.
That hasn’t stopped a bunch of fighters from trying to “save” the card though, by attempting to jump into a short notice fight. The UFC reportedly wants Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje on the card now, but that has not been finalized.
