When the UFC returned to action in May, it went to the state of Florida, which declared sports as an essential service amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This opened the door for WWE to resume taping shows, while the NBA and MLS are presently in Orlando for the remainder of their respective seasons.
A mere two months later, Florida has gone from 8th to 3rd in total confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States, with nearly 370,000 in total as of July 21st. For context, South Africa has the 5th highest number of global cases at 373,000.
