After attempting to defy local government consensus and advice regarding the 2019 novel coronavirus — known as COVID-19 — amid a global pandemic, the UFC has finally taken the decision to postpone three of its upcoming shows, the last of which was scheduled to take place on April 11, 2020.
UFC President Dana White informed his staff on Monday afternoon through email that the promotion had every intention of moving forward with the planned shows but that the White House’s recommendation on Tuesday to stop gatherings of 10 or more people made UFC events a logistical impossibility.
