    ..and everything is cancelled

    Probably political pressure on Disney/ESPN, they told the UFC to stop

    @Duluth He's in full Donald Trump denial that he can still do this. Disney rightly have pulled the plug on him and he's not happy there's a bigger dog in the room telling him what to do.

      How is any different than the jockeys creating their bubble and continuing racing?

      Without crowds you aren’t talking about many people. Probably more in my local supermarket right now.

          @Kirwan I don't know what's going on with racing. Someone told me you can still play golf in Australia (but a lot of courses have closed). I think there's a lot of countries making a mess of this situation.

            @DrivingMaul the point is they were making it as safe as any other activity that is allowed under this lockdown.

              So now the UFC are tentatively saying May 9th

              This will be mostly US based fighters. A few rumours that they are looking at Florida (State Govt has made positive noises)
              Then hopefully 'Fight Island' will be ready for the international fighters not long after that

              Fights pencilled in for May 9th:

                Now that's worth waiting for.

                Florida Governor put WWE on the 'Essential' list so fingers crossed.

                  https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/29094417/ufc-schedules-three-fight-cards-led-ufc-249-9-florida-no-fans

                  Confirmation that UFC 249 will be in Florida with no audience on the 9th of May

                  Two more cards at the same location on the 13th and 16th. No announcement on fights yet.

                  Another US card on the 23rd with no location confirmed. I suspect they are hoping that Vegas will allow this at the UFC headquarters

                  'Fight Island' should be ready in June for cards with international fighters. Fighters will be spread amongst multiple hotels and the octagon will be on a beach.
                  I think there'll be some Kiwi's & Aussies on the first island event because it'll happen around the time of the postponed Perth card

                      So many good fights on this card. Despite that, most of my picks are the favourites.

                      The only non favourite I've gone for (ignoring the early pre-lims) is Cruz over Cejudo.

                      It'll be a massive surprise if the main event is a dud.
                      Ferguson is a freak. I think he'll enjoy the chaos of a Gaethje fight and he'll get a stoppage in the 3rd. Probably an elbow..

                        If Cruz is 100% healthy then it could be a contest. Otherwise a beating.

                        Main Event won't get out of Round 1.

                        Can't wait.

                          ..and has no ring rust. But of course Cruz claims there is no such thing

                          I’m still sceptical of Cejudo at 135 despite the Moraes win.

                                  Ngannou shows off his scary power.

                                  The ufc really want him to be champ. I hope they don’t strip Miocic.. they need a rematch

                                    I was picking Cruz to win with a knee, not Cejudo...

                                    The stoppage wasn’t as bad as Cruz is claiming

                                        Amazing fight. Gaethje has improved so much and Ferguson has an inhuman chin. I'm happy that Herb stopped it when he did

                                        We'll probably never see Khabib v Tony now :disappointed_face:

                                          Well that was worth waiting for.

                                          Masterclass from Gaethje.

                                          Thank you Uncle Dana.
