Details on the possible return of SuperBook and UFC in early May
UFC has stated that they are still in the process of organizing the fight card and are therefore not yet prepared to make any announcements. Nonetheless, Dana White, the president of UFC, has clarified a few aspects of his plans.
The event will take place at “Fight Island” in Florida, as opposed to Brazil where the UFC 250 plans were originally situated. Florida Governor, Rick DeSantis, has made it clear that the event will not permit spectators.
UFC is keen to ensure as many of the fights that were initially planned for UFC 249 and UFC 250 take place at this event. If this happens, the fight card may end up resembling the following:
- Dominick Cruz vs. Henry Cejudo
- Anthony Pettis vs. Donald Cerrone
- Michelle Waterson vs. Carla Esparza
- Justin Gaethje vs. Tony Ferguson
- Yorgan de Castro vs. Greg Hardy
- Niko Price vs. Vicente Luque
- Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Francis Ngannou
- Felicia Spencer vs. Amanda Nunes
- Fabricio Werdum vs. Alexei Oleinik
- Bryce Mitchell vs. Charles Rosa
- Uriah Hall vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza
- Calvin Kattar vs. Jeremy Stephens
Title bouts would include Cejudo against Cruz, Ferguson versus Gaethje, and Nunes taking on Spencer. While it’s probable that this event will be pay-per-view, the certainty of this detail is currently unclear.
Even though UFC might not be the top sport for numerous SuperBook clients, they could nonetheless welcome its comeback with significant excitement. SuperBook will make a comeback simultaneously.

SuperBook considering May 8 return in Nevada
John Murray, the director of Westgate sportsbook, stated that if UFC proceeds with its currently scheduled event, SuperBook will recommence its online betting operations a day or two prior. Should this occur, it would be one of the initial indications that sports gambling in Nevada is returning to its normal state.
At least for the rest of this month, casinos in the state remain closed. Despite Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman’s appeal to Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak not to extend any of his existing orders, Sisolak has not committed to such action.
In fact, Sisolak believes that his state is “not even close to lifting the restrictions.” This could indicate a further extension of the order that keeps all non-essential businesses shut to the public.
One possible solution could be for Sisolak to classify casinos as “essential” businesses. Casino operators have suggested plans involving regular, comprehensive cleanings and equipping their employees with gloves and masks.
It’s currently uncertain whether UFC fans will witness live action on May 9. If any bouts happen on May 9, it might encourage SuperBook to resume online betting. This would be a favorable change for bettors across the state.
