JAKARTA - The 249 Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) match which was scheduled to be held on April 18 was canceled last week. However, UFC President Dana White has now opened the opportunity if the mixed martial arts battle will return on May 9.

It's just that, as quoted from ESPN, Thursday, April 16, White did not mention the location that will host the match. Yes, the place is still a secret.

ESPN reports that the fight on May 9 will bring together a duel between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje to fight for the lightweight interim champion belt.

In addition, there will also be a fight between Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz, as well as the possibility of a duel between Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer.

The UFC previously insisted on holding matches on schedule, even though it will take place without spectators.

Not only that, there are three other battle schedules that must be postponed, namely on March 21 in London, March 28 in Columbus, April 11 in Portland.

The delay was carried out by the UFC due to pressure from state officials to postpone the duel due to a ban on sports in Nevada due to the COVID-19 pandemic or the corona virus.
