After canceling three Ultimate events for the next few weeks, the company's president, Dana White, continues to struggle to keep the card scheduled for April 18th. The show that will feature as its main attraction the fight for the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg.) between Khabib Nurmagomedov e Tony Ferguson was scheduled to take place in New York, however, the state government, as a preventive measure, prohibited the card from taking place there. Faced with the problems, the 'boss' joked about the situation and suggested a fight on the moon, where, theoretically, there would be no possibility of contagion.

“(Laughs) Be prepared,” wrote Dana, captioning a montage in which Khabib and Tony face each other inside a dome apparently installed on the moon.
Even though he gave his hand, canceling, for example, the UFC London, which would take place this Saturday (21), White remains firm in the idea that it will be possible to hold the UFC 249.
According to the agent, his employees are working full steam looking for a new place to cast the athletes. The president, however, already admits that the event should not take place on North American territory.
Recently, Khabib's father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, suggested that the dispute take place in the United Arab Emirates, specifically in Dubai. According to the 'Águia' mentor, the high temperatures of the place and the high purchasing power of businesspeople could make the event viable.
