Source newsofgambling.com/The UFC 249 saga is finally coming to an end. It was completed by the chief leader of the Absolute Fighting Championship Dana White, who finally approved the list of participants in this championship. It became known that the place of the Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov will be taken by the American fighter Justin Gati. The thing is that Khabib is now in quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic and will not be able to take part in the championship. Of course, many fans and haters already suspect that this outcome of events has been planned for a long time. After all, Nurmagomedov and Gatji have the same manager – this is Ali Abdel Aziz. Therefore, he could prepare another of his wards for the UFC in advance. Dana White also said a word about the venue of the main event of the fighting world. He finally revealed the secret and said that the place itself is already there. According to White’s story, we are talking about a certain island, which is rented by the UFC president in the near future. Dana also noted that the necessary infrastructure is being created on the island and preparations for the championship are in full swing. It will be able to gather fighters from different countries and freely participate in competitions. In America, this is not yet possible, so the reserved island will be a great place for championships. White also said that exactly on April 18 – the day of the fight between Tony and Justin, the UFC will resume its work and this will be done on the “island of fights”. As for safety, Dana White assured everyone that there would be no fans and supporters on the rented island. In addition, he stressed that every athlete who arrived at the championship would first be tested for coronavirus. Also, fighters will be regularly tested throughout the championship. In total, 11 fights are planned on the island. In addition to Ferguson’s fight with Gaethje, UFC 249 will host a rematch between lightweight athletes Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas. In addition, heavyweight fighters Nico Price and Vicente Luque, Jeremy Stevens and Calvin Kattar, Yorgan de Castro and Greg Hardy will enter the octagon. Bookmakers started accepting bets
