Dana White has seemingly been doing everything he can to get the UFC events back on track. However, the unfortunate outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has been preventing him from doing so. Initially, Dana White was planning to secure a private island to host UFC 249 safely amid the coronavirus outbreak but decided to drop the plan after discussing it with ESPN and Disney.

Currently, Dana White is upbeat about hosting a live event very soon as he has reportedly planned some match-ups for UFC fans. According to Dana White, Justin Gaethje is still going to get a shot against Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight strap and he is ready to make the fight happen. Dana White has also planned to bring back Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone as he has already found a potential opponent for him. Here’s how the fight card could look.
