One concern for fighters ahead of the UFC’s resumption of its schedule has been resolved... at least for these next three shows.
According to MMA Junkie, all fighters will be allowed a full compliment of cornermen — maximum of three — for UFC 249, along with the May 13th and 16th Fight Night events in Jacksonville.
Previously, in a meeting with fighters, UFC president Dana White had indicated that fighters could have to make some “tough decisions” with regards to who can be in their team for fight week.
As we near the first fight week since March 14th, the promotion has outlined some guidelines and safety measures to adjust for the coronavirus pandemic and physical distancing guidelines.
