DANA WHITE insists the UFC have done everything in their power to protect their fighters from catching coronavirus this weekend.
Following a two-month break, MMA’s leading promotion will resume service with their fourth pay-per-view card of the year.
UFC 249 will take place behind closed doors at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
The promotion has introduced strict Covid-19 testing and social distancing measures ahead of the return, which president White is confident will go off without a hitch.
“I believe we can pull this off and do it safe,” he said.
