Welterweight veteran Jason Jackson saw several of his teammates and coaches at Sanford MMA test positive for COVID-19, but he said a strict regimen of roots and self-care kept him healthy.
The South Florida gym, which is affiliated with health care giant Sanford Health, is at the epicenter of one of the worst virus outbreaks in the country. UFC welterweight title contender Gilbert Burns lost a fight at UFC 251 with champ Kamaru Usman due to a positive test. Lightweight Jared Gordon tested positive and then lost all of his cornermen before the same event.
