While much of the sports world is canceling or postponing its seasons and events, the UFC is apparently doing no such thing despite concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
UFC president Dana White appeared on SportsCenter on Thursday and said UFC Fight Night 170: Brasilia will take place Saturday but without fans. He also said UFC London on March 21 will go ahead as scheduled with spectators, although UFC on ESPN 8 on March 28 is moving from Columbus, Ohio, to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
That is because Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced the state will ban gatherings of 100 people or more due to the coronavirus.
