He can’t. He said they have at least 50 ppl there with no attendance, trainers medics, officials refs. And because of new guidelines of 10 or less he’s postponing. Was just on radio 10-20 ago
isn't that what the article literally says though?
he has to postpone the event because it's impossible to do it with less than 10 ppl with new guidelines, but the fight btwn kabi and fergu is still happening?
Citing an address to the nation from President Trump earlier on Monday, White said on ESPN that the UFC had managed to stage a mixed martial arts event with less than 50 people and no fans present,
but “now they’re saying there should be no more than 10 in a room, and that’s just impossible.”“We can’t do it,” he continued, “and we’ve complied with everything that the government and these doctors have said to do, and we have no choice now but to postpone these fights.”
White said that his company was calling off its next three events, which had been scheduled for March 21, March 28 and April 11, but he insisted that UFC 249 would take place April 18. That event, featuring a much-anticipated lightweight title showdown between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, might not unfold as planned, however, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
New York’s state of emergency order bans all gatherings of more than 500 people, but White told ESPN that he would be willing to stage it with “no crowd.” He added that it would “probably not even be in the United States” but that he would do “whatever it takes” to make sure it happens.ESPN MMA
