Dana White allowed the UFC tournament to take place in Russia. The head of the organization said that now it makes sense, but emphasized that no official negotiations have yet taken place on this issue. "There was no negotiation, but the question is excellent. There is no doubt that now it makes sense to hold the tournament in Russia," White told reporters. According to Sputnik, three UFC tournaments were previously held in the Russian Federation: in September 2018 in Moscow, and in April and November 2019 in St. Petersburg and Moscow, respectively.
