He is yet to confirm the location, leaving oddsmakers to fill in the cracks.<\/p>\n<p>Online oddsmaker, Betonline has released the potential hosts. Currently, Florida is leading the pack as a 2-to-1 odds (+200) favorite.

Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville are the frontrunners.<\/p>\n<p>In second place is the United Arab Emirates which has been given 7-to-2 odds (+350) to host UFC 249 in Abu Dhabi. The country was the last place to host the lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. He defeated Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi at UFC 242 last September and his father <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/mma\/article-8126017\/Khabib-Nurmagomedovs-father-says-long-awaited-fight-Tony-Ferguson-place-DUBAI.html\">also suggested<\/a> the country as a possible location for UFC 249.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_309069\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-309069\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-309069\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tony-Ferguson-Khabib-Nurmagomedov.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Ferguson, Khabib Nurmagomedov\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-309069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PhotoCred: MMA Fighting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, safety legislation and restrictions keep changing as the global Coronavirus pandemic evolves. Whilst negotiations and logistics are being finalised, it is almost non-negotiable that the event will take place from a closed arena. So far, it is also unclear if the scheduled UFC 249 will include the full original lineup, or only feature the main event between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can also hedge their bets on more outlandish options including Area 51 (+8000) and North Korea (+10000).
