UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov says his fight against American Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 is off as he is in quarantine in Russia amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Dagestan native Nurmagomedov was scheduled to face Ferguson on April 18 at the Barclays Center in New York but the venue had already been ruled out because of the virus outbreak.Nurmagomedov said on his Instagram page that"the whole world should be in quarantine". "I understand everything and I'm definitely more upset than you to cancel the fight. Probably like all others, I had many plans after the fight, but I can't control it all."
"He was in Abu Dhabi, he had his chance to be able to come back before the borders were closed in Russia," Ferguson told ESPN."The guy does not want to fight. He's scared, he's running. He should be stripped of his title."
