Just a quick FYI,
Khabib went back to Russia without the permission of the UFC.
Russia is shutting down all flights in and out of the country in two hours.
Khabib has two hours to leave Russia or #UFC249 is over forever.

1. Is he confirmed to be in Russia?
2. The fact he is an international star may lend him the ability to take a private jet out of Russia.
3. If this were all true, Dana would put khabib on blast for leaving the USA without consulting with Dana.— Chael Silva (@ChaelSilva2) March 28, 2020
It's not happening. Khabib is trapped in Russia. Putin just closed the borders.

That's it my dudes. #UFC249 is no more. Khabib is trapped in Russia after Putin closing the borders.

We will see how this plays out.
Rumor has it Khabib snuck off to Dubai before the lockdown.
Update: it appears he MAY already be in Dubai per @MoizAudio

#UFC249 will be in Saudi Arabia…my guess.
