While the Ultimate Fighting Championship has canceled its next three events due to the coronavirus outbreak, Dana White has vowed to go to extreme measures to make sure the lightweight title bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson takes place.
“This fight’s going to happen,” the UFC president said Monday on SportsCenter. “No crowd. Whatever it takes. Probably not even going to be in the United States, but this fight’s going to happen.”
Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson was originally scheduled to take place on April 18 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.
