SKOR.id – Presiden Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White, akhirnya mengumumkan pembatalan UFC 249 di Barclays Arena, Brooklyn, New York, 18 April 2020.

Menariknya, keputusan ini diambil Dana White setelah sempat bersikukuh untuk tetap menggelar rangkaian pertandingan UFC 249.

Namun, adanya permintaan dari ESPN selaku pemegang hak siar, membuat Dana White akhirnya menyerah dan membatalkan UFC 249. 

Disney selaku perusahaan induk ESPN ikut menekan Dana White untuk menghentikan UFC 249, menyusul penyebaran pandemi virus corona (Covid-19) di Amerika Serikat (AS).

Keputusan tersebut demi menghormati kerja sama yang sudah terjalin baik dengan ESPN dan Disney. "Saya sebenarnya sudah siap menyelenggarakan UFC 249."

"Namun, ESPN dan Disney meminta saya untuk menghentikan ini. Jadi, sebagai rekanan, kami tentu menghormati keputusan mereka," Dana White menambahkan. 

Tak heran rasanya jika UFC menuruti keinginan ESPN sebagai pemegang hak siar sejak 2019. Pasalnya, nilai kontrak keduanya ditaksir mencapai 1,5 miliar dolar AS (sekitar Rp 24,3 triliun).

Kembali ke soal UFC 249, White awalnya ingin menggelar pertarungan tersebut di Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino, Lemoore, California. Namun, dipindahkan ke Barclays Arena.

Partai utama UFC 249 sejatinya bakal menyajikan duel kelas ringan antara Tony Ferguson melawan Justin Gaethje yang berstatus sebagai lawan pengganti.

Tony Ferguson awalnya dijadwalkan menantang juara kelas ringan, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Namun, petarung asal Rusia itu tak bisa ke AS lantaran kebijakan lockdown.

Dengan mundurknya Khabib Nurmagomedov dari UFC 249, penggemar sempat melayangkan kritik karena sudah terlalu lama menunggu sang idola naik oktagon.
