Despite Dana White’s best, and controversial, efforts it seems highly unlikely that UFC 249: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson will go ahead as planned (if at all).
The UFC President has been indignant while swearing that Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson, a fight that has fallen through four times already, would go ahead on April 18th despite the worldwide shutdown prompted by the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 measures recently took place in Russia, resulting in no more outbound air traffic from that country. Nurmagomedov is currently in Russia. Speaking with RT the UFC champion seemed resigned to the fact that he would not be leaving the country anytime soon and that his fight with Ferguson would not be happening in April.
