Sorry to double post but finally, finally, the fight I’ve been on about for months is happening.

267’s looking amazing so far. Blachowicz vs Teixeira, Sterling vs Yan 2 is supposed to be on there (not sure if it’s official yet), Jingliang vs Khamzat, Ribas vs Jandiroba, now RDA vs Makhachev. Beautiful. Then 268 has Usman vs Covington 2 and Gaethje vs Chandler.

Bloody Elbow are reporting that Gaethje Vs Chandler could be off. It depends if the show is definitely at MSG or not (which isn't confirmed yet). 

New York are requiring anyone in entertainment venues to have been vaccinated. Chandler has come out and said he won't be getting the Covid vaccine before that date.

They could just chuck it on another card. No real reason why that fight has to be at MSG. It’s too good a fight to just abandon. Although, if this is the case, maybe that whole MSG card is in jeopardy. I don’t know how many fighters on the roster have been vaccinated, and then you’ve got to see who’s available out of those who have been vaccinated. That obviously narrows down the options for who they can put on the card. I can see them just moving the card somewhere else and trying for MSG again next year. Aren’t they going back to Fight Island soon anyway?

Yeah there's a fight island card somewhere towards the end of the year. That's where the RDA/Makhachev fight is booked for. 

As well as that, like you say there, there's no confirmation that it actually is MSG and this may be the reason why. It might not be viable for them to run New York. Equally, the wrestling companies are bound to encounter this problem pretty soon too since they're going to be in NYC sooner than that.
