It took a lot for UFC president Dana White to finally pull the plug on plans to promote a number of upcoming events, but it appears a call from California Governor Gavin Newsom may have been the deciding factor.
White announced on Thursday that the UFC would be postponing all upcoming shows indefinitely, starting with UFC 249 scheduled on April 18. The show was supposed to take place at the Tachi Palace Resort and Casino, which sits on a Native American reservation in California.
