On one hand this event (and few following) can be an event just to fill the gap between Adesanya belt fight and Khabibs fight, but on the other, this event is in Brasil and lots of fighters are from the, this can be a KO/bloody night. If only the fighters wish to remind what Brazilian Valetudo was.

Jon Jones is the best in the world at fighting but he cant keep himself together, what a pity. Its not surprising given his history but its very unfortunate at this point in time. We imagined that he would have changed by now. His last fight against Reyes was a letdown too.

UFC 249 is huge and I wonder if the MMA gods will let it happen, Since Khabib cant fight during Ramadan.

It's sad to see he can't stop drinking unfortunately. Alcoholism will be his biggest opponent in his career I guess. I hope he will at least learn to stop making stupid things while being drunk Undecided

It is not the first time he is under trouble for drink and drive and he is not going to change, he has all the money in the world to hire someone to drive for him or download uber for his after drinking activities but he just cannot change and his alcohol addiction will destroy his career.

Joe Rogan reveals he won't be commentating at UFC 249 due to coronavirus pandemic

I was watching his podcast in the mean time and even he was not that serious about the COVID virus in the early stages but when he had Michael Osterholm in his podcast his perception changed and Osterholm warned before hand about the seriousness of the virus and how it will affect the entire globe if you are not taking any precautions and that is what really happened now with the number of patience in the US has increased more than anywhere else in the world.

Joe Rogan reveals he won't be commentating at UFC 249 due to coronavirus pandemic

The coronavirus outbreak has prompted UFC commentator Joe Rogan not to comment on the eagerly-anticipated lightweight title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson.

Jon Jones arrested fo aggravated DWI, negligent use of firearm in Albuquerque

Oh men! People's Champ is now facing another controversy. What do you guys think the reason behind such behavior? The authorities said he "performed poorly" on the breathalyzer test meaning he is drunk that time but I wonder what would be the result if he will undergo a drug test as well Tongue

.

On the other hand, Stylebender is now starting to mock him through social media. Hahaha, this could create an intense rival story in the future and it excites me Shocked

(just in case one of them will adjust on weight class).

How are they going to handle Jon Jones now?
Special self-quarantine for him, he should probably stay at home and pay a lot again.

Looks like he is still listed for this event :/

^ He's still an idiot tho... I guess he'll be stripped off the LHW title and have Thiago Santos and Dominic Reyes fight for it? That wouldn't be a bad match up imo.

Adesanya having a field day on the twitterz... Lmao.

At least Jon Jones, I’m sure, quietly handed himself to the police and did not cause any trouble. He understand that causing resist will only make his problems bigger.

I remember when Alistair and Valentine Overeem were asked to leave the club by bouncers. Evening ended with 8 of bouncers getting into hospital Grin

And Alistair only got a cut on his fist. Would be madness if Jon performed something like that while being drunk.

I speculate that Dana is doing anything to make this fight a certainty on April 18 not because of Ramadan. It might be to clear the road for Conor. I reckon if winner is Khabib, Conor will challenge. However, if winner is El Cucuy, Conor will fight the loser hehehehe.

So bottom line is, Conor will fight Khabib regardless of who will win the fight this April 18. Poor Justin Gaethje if that is the case, he is far more active fighter than Conor who just won the fight last January 19 against Cerrone and now he is the top contender?

Yes because Conor is will create more wealth for Dana and the UFC. However, Conor might fight Justin if Khabib demands to fight only the next challenger on the line which is Justin.

@notblox1. The news article mentioned that there was a bottle of Recuerdo mescal in his car. This is Jorge's fault hehehehe.

I can't believe that Jon Jones is arrested again and this time for aggravated DWI and use of firearm
Is this man have any brain in his head? Roll Eyes

It is a really disappointing news as he is back again with his wild days and how long he can mess around like this, he is an exceptional talent but he is doing his best to destroy his legacy and if he continue this path then his career will end pretty soon.
The use of fire arm is not a big issue here but the problem is the aggravated DWI charge as this is not the first time Jon Jones is getting into trouble behind the wheels. May be the COVID scare has got the better of Jon Jones.

It is possible that Justin Gaethje will fight Conor McGregor unless and until Conor is willing to wait for a long time as Khabib will take time off for his religious fasting and he will be planning to return by the end of the year card and how long Conor is willing to wait is the question and considering the recent Covid scare who knows when we will be able to see things normally and how long we will carry on with isolation and lock downs.

Dana White announced during a social media live earlier tonight that he is putting up a card for April and the fight card will have major changes and i hope the main event will be there as he is not providing the entire details but he is planning to put together a big card that includes the fighters that were supposed to fight in the cancelled cards.

News Alert! Khabib - Ferguson fight's venue is now 99% set Shocked

. Wow! What a great news from Dana. With such statement, we can already confirm that their long awaited fight will happen finally. There's nothing, even the virus, could stop it. Though we can't yet clarify the exact setting and/or there's no audience present, I'm still glad because it will happen for sure

I really think this is good news and a gamble at the same time, Dana White really is getting this fight done after so many people really do want to see this fight so badly, that he is not canceling this match the UFC 249 is as good as going I guess, in my opinion, he had looked into the future that the given date of the fight will sure continue, or he had seen this news about a cure on Corona,

https://www.foxnews.com/media/toxicologist-reacts-after-trump-announces-fda-making-anti-malaria-drug-available-to-test-covid-19-treatment

Well, I don't want to put my hopes so high because it is still on testing and there might have complications involve when the procedure is done, but let's hope this problem can have a solution fast for the UFC 249 event.

Dana must have figured this is the only event that could finally push thru and they could earn millions out of it because its the only event out there in sports. So where is the location again? Grin

The article didn't said where exactly.

If this is the only sports that will be seen on TV while all the rest of the sports are cancelled, I guess the whole eyes of the world are going to watch this.

It was initially in Barclays in Brooklyn but because of the said Corona Virus outbreak and for shutting down all mass gatherings of people that is why it is set to a place where even Dana White still doesn't know at all, But he sure has an initial plan and even consults health experts and maybe it will be held in a close door stage, but I guess that would surely do not make out any initial payments that he wants, but he really needs to plan this out first so there still don't have an announcement where is UFC 249 will be held.
