Does that mean Khabib vs. Ferguson will happen at the UFC Apex?

Since it's still a month and some change away, they are probably waiting a few days to reassess their options. They could move it out further to May or June. However, it becomes tough with moving parts. If the NBA truncates their season and uses the current records to determine the playoffs, the Nets would be in. That would effectively take Barclays Center out of the running. We will know soon enough where it lands.

Ramadan is through May 23 and that seems way too optimistic if the fight gets postponed.

Forgot about that. If they don't come up with a decent compromise inside of the next week, the fight is probably getting postponed until September at the earliest.

Still not clear what's happening with the London show next week either. Most likely it'll be empty arena, but even with all the Premier League and Football league games suspended this weekend, domestic Rugby still happened. Largely because the UK Government's Coronavirus policy is one of developing herd immunity via maximum exposure (nb: Although it is likely, it has not yet been proven that contracting the Coronavirus and then recovering from it makes you immune from ever catching (or carrying) it again).

Our leaders are morons.

This seems rather optimistic, Dana.

Woodley seems pretty great despite the fact I don't love watching his fights. 

I have a maybe irrational love for him after people tried to say his win over Condit was a fluke, and Condit was about to come on before he got hurt. That was a weird way to discredit a win.

It'd be good if, despite the year of Corona, we somehow get both Ferguson/Khabib and Colby/Woodley in 2020. 

If we're sticking with just 170, I also want Leon Edwards to finally get into the mix and also Ponzi scheme to get healthy. I feel there are a bunch of great fights you can still make at welterweight.
