Khabib on UFC 249: ‘Next couple of days, Dana’s going to send us location’

Despite the postponement of the next three events, UFC president Dana White seems hellbent on pushing through with UFC 249. But with New York’s rulings against large public gatherings, the company is looking at a new venue, possibly outside the United States.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father Abdulmanap expects the card to take place either in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. For his part, “The Eagle” is expecting the new location to be ironed out sooner than later.

“We’ll see. Next couple of days, Dana’s going to send us location,” Khabib said on a recent Instagram chat hosted by his manager Ali Abdelaziz (via MMA Fighting).
