The UFC faced an unprecedented set of challenges in the past week due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a string of events which ended with the UFC pulling the plug on the schedule through April 11. But UFC president Dana White has never been known to back away from a challenge, and while he knows he can’t make any promises, he vows he will do everything in his power to make the show go on come April 18, when Khabib Nurmagomedov is scheduled to defend his lightweight title against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. In his first interview since announcing the cancellation of the upcoming slate, White touched on a variety of topics related to how events played out, and reminded detractors he’s often found a way to get things done when told he can’t.
