Another four UFC events have been cancelled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
UFC president Dana White vowed to stage an event on May 9 after UFC 249 could not go ahead last Saturday.
Yet it was announced on Monday that UFC 250 will not take place as planned in Sao Paulo two weeks on Saturday due to the closure of the Ibirapuera Gymnasium for the installation of a field hospital until September.
An event in Lincoln, Nebraska that was set to be staged this Saturday has been called off as a result of state and county restrictions on public gatherings.
