White has already assured that he has taken into account all safety measures and that health and safety will be a top priority. UFC 249 was initially set to host Khabib Nurmagomedov against Tony Ferguson.

But with Khabib not able to travel for the fight because of lockdown restrictions, White announced Justin Gaethje as his replacement.

“As a promoter, you can never tell how a fight is going to turn out. I can guarantee you this fight (Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje) is going to be insane. I can also guarantee you, it will be one of the nominated fights for the fight of the year this year,” White said.
