As far as UFC Dana White is concerned, UFC 249 will go on as planned. No venue has been finalized yet, but if it does push through, it will likely have the same treatment as UFC Brasilia with no screaming fans around.
And it is exactly how Kamaru Usman wants it, if he does end up fighting Jorge Masvidal on the same card.
“The real reason I wanted the fight is because, guys, this guy is so much hype, he understands, he knows he can’t hold a candle to who I am, to what I can do,” Usman said in a recent video he released via Twitter (transcript by MMA Junkie).
