Amidst the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, UFC is having a hard time in order to line up their events. Though Dana White has promised to host UFC 249 on April 18 under any circumstances, Khabib Nurmagodov’s sudden exit has put the fight card under jeopardy. Khabib is currently stuck in Russia and he is expected to miss UFC 249 due to the Russia lockdown. Meanwhile, UFC is already looking for Khabib’s replacement and Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh has hinted at the Irishman’s name via Twitter. Justin Gaethje has also been touted as a replacement for Khabib Nurmagomedov as UFC president Dana White looks to avoid cancellation of the fight.
