UFC president Dana White remains confident as ever that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson will fight for the lightweight title at UFC 249 on April 18. In fact, White said he has a new location sorted for the anticipated Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) vs. Ferguson (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) bout after it was forced out of Barclays Center in New York, by the ongoing coronavirus crisis. Despite already postponing three UFC cards due to the global pandemic, White remains hellbent on overcoming any obstacles to ensure the fight happens. On Monday, the UFC boss confirmed to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports that he has determined where the contest will be held, however, outside of confirming it would be a closed-door event, played coy. “I do (know where it is),” White said on Instagram Live .
