The UFC has finally waved the white flag on doing fights during the global coronavirus pandemic. After weeks of relentlessly trying to push forward with the event schedule in the middle of countless obstacles and outside pressures, UFC president Dana White revealed Thursday that all future events – including UFC 249 on April 18 – have been indefinitely suspended. White made the announcement to UFC broadcast partner ESPN, stating that the decision was made after intervention from “the highest level” of both Disney and ESPN. “I told you this whole thing has been a battle since Day 1,” White said in a video interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
