Dana White has ‘four to five locations’ for UFC 249
Esther Lin, MMA Fighting The event, which was originally scheduled to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, is currently without a location due to the coronavirus pandemic. With worldwide gathering bans instituted by government officials, the amount of options seem limited to host UFC 249.
In a recent interview with Mike Tyson, White admitted that he’s had to overcome a lot of hurdles thrown in his direction. Despite the difficulty, the UFC president says he has multiple locations lined up to host the card, which will be headlined by the highly anticipated lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
