It may take a while before a large crowd once again gathers to watch a UFC event in person. According to Zeke Emanuel, a bioethicist and brother of UFC co-owner Ari, that likely won’t happen until the fall of 2021, at the earliest.
It is a new normal that Dana White is starting to embrace. But according to the UFC president, having a live audience doesn’t really matter that much.
“Obviously, the world is going to be different and I’ve been thinking far ahead into the future,” White told Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports.
