I’m wondering If Dana is willing to pay extra to each camp.
Just tack on 50 K to their training partners to relocate and isolate themselves for a month to train the fighters.

I do believe they're going to find a location. But lol if someone doesn't make weight or gets injured. THAT would be the appropriate ending to this Tony-Khabib saga: The UFC moves mountains to hold the event during the pandemic, Khabib slips in the sauna and gets a concussion. Fight cancelled.

Dana says they have a location. Won't tell anyone.

Maybe it's China. They're trying to get their basketball league going again.

I kinda wonder if they couldn’t just do this in an empty arena and open it up to something like 10 seats, and those seats would cost something ludicrous like 1.5 mill each.
8 Russian/Saudi oil tycoons would do it just for the recognition that it would give them.

Get a 15 mill gate off it, 3rd highest ever

Dana White has ‘four to five locations’ for UFC 249

lmao, Khabib can't get out of Russia now.

MMA under quarantine:
Tony/Khabib gets cancelled
Jon Jones does something ****

Everyone wants this fight but it’s stupid to push it right now.

For sure. At the same time, I just knew Dana was going to screw this one up somehow.

Generally-speaking, the more he talks about "doing the right thing," the thinner the ice he's skating on.

I appreciate Dana's efforts but when you fly drone into tornado, tornado win. I mean its one thing to be like "**** the virus,we're doing this"...its another thing entirely to not realize this is going to be exponentially worse by April 18th than it is now and logistically impossible. It's not the worst thing in the world to sit and wait til we've cleared some hurdles like every other sports league is doing. Believe me I get that Dana wants to be the hero and put on this amazing event and it would be amazing to see but once they start clamping down on travel restrictions heavily which is already happening, and its out of the fighters hands, it's off.

I also doubt all these fighters are going to be this cavalier about fighting a month from now.

Ariel replied to Conor's coach on twitter when he implied that Conor might fight Tony.

I don't think Ariel would have done that if there wasn't at least some discussion of that.
