Dana White blasts media criticizing UFC during coronavirus outbreak: ‘Weakest, wimpiest people on Earth’

UFC president Dana White is determined to get back to business during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and he doesn’t care who has a problem with it.

After postponing the next three cards on the UFC schedule due to President Donald Trump’s recommendation that gatherings be restricted to no more than 10 people to help slow the spread of the deadly disease, White promised that the promotion would return on April 18 for a highly anticipated card featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov against Tony Ferguson in the main event.

White’s declaration comes after he already promoted a card in Brasilia, Brazil, this past weekend behind closed doors after the local government shut down fans attending the event due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
