Usman said, “ Make no mistake, it’s a blockbuster. It is going to be the main event. It just depends on where they want to do it.” Usman in an interview with TMZ said he doesn’t mind even flying down to a remote city in Africa if it’s required. He will go anywhere. Fight anywhere. As long as he gets his hands on Masvidal.

COVID-19 has paused all major sporting events. When they will resume isn’t certain and probably not anytime in the immediate future. Will these fights take place in a secluded arena without the presence of a live audience? Or will they wait for this scare to blow over and then resume sport?
