Dana White may finally be out of options for UFC 249, as Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed earlier today that is he currently stuck in Russia due to the government’s recently enforced cross-border travel ban to tackle coronavirus.
“Everyone should follow the laws,” Khabib said. “I am not against it. I know that fighters need to feed their families and pay their bills. I know how hard it is for the fighter. Unless they fight they aren’t getting any money.”
Tony Ferguson soon got word of Khabib’s comments and responded via Twitter, accusing the undefeated lightweight champion of trying to weasel his way out of UFC 249.
