UFC 249 has been put out of its misery.
BREAKING: UFC 249 has been canceled. All UFC events postponed indefinitely, due to COVID-19. Dana White says he was ready to promote the event but things were taken out of his control. Much, much more on this to come.

As detailed yesterday a new home for the event, originally scheduled for Brooklyn, seemed to have been found. But reportedly Disney, the parent company of ESPN, did not want to be involved with the controversial pay-per-view event any longer. Plus, all future UFC events are being put on hold for the time being.
Good riddance; it was a bad idea anyways.
For what it’s worth it sounds like Monkey Knife Fight Island is still a go.
