Jesse Ronson’s first UFC win was seven years in the making – and a last-second hiccup almost cost him another opportunity.
Appearing on the What the Heck, Ronson said his journey to his first UFC victory was almost stopped by a positive COVID-19 test result on the morning of UFC on ESPN 14. Less than three hours before the event, he was cleared when it was determined to be a false positive.
“At seven in the morning [on Saturday], I got a phone call from the UFC saying I tested positive,” Ronson said.
