When the UFC restarts their 2020 event schedule in Jacksonville, FL next week Michelle Waterson will be there. The ‘Karate Hottie’ has a bout booked against former champion Carla Esparza on the ESPN prelim portion of the fight card. In a state set on easing quarantine restrictions and getting back to some form of ‘business as usual,’ it seems almost certain at this point that the event will go ahead as planned.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that everything will be as safe as can be, however. The UFC is very much leading the charge to get back to putting on live sports-entertainment, alongside the WWE.
