Dana White says location set for closed-door UFC 249, won’t reveal location

UFC 249 has a location, but where that is remains a secret.

UFC President Dana White on Monday told veteran combat sports journalist Kevin Iole that the April 18 pay-per-view will take place on its originally scheduled date, behind closed doors. Only the city and venue remain a mystery.

”I do, but I’m not ready to tell you yet,” White said during an Instagram Live chat when asked if he knows where the pay-per-view event is being held.

UFC 249 is headlined by a lightweight title fight between champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history.
