With Brazilian consulates closed, UFC athletes are unable to apply for a work visa to fight in the United States.UFC president Dana White said earlier this week he expects upcoming events to take place either at a location yet to be announced in the U.S., or on an island he's trying to secure for international fighters. The promotion has yet to confirm the status of UFC 250.The other fighters unable to participate on May 9 are Ketlen Vieira, Bethe Correia, Augusto Sakai, and Carlos Felipe.The only Brazilians who will reportedly remain on the card are UFC two-division champion Amanda Nunes and former heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum, as they both live and train stateside. Nunes will defend her women's featherweight title against Felicia Spencer in the co-main event and Werdum will meet Aleksei Oleinik in his first bout since March 2018.
