If the UFC wants to begin promoting shows sooner rather than later, Florida might be the perfect landing spot.
A new order issued by Governor Ron DeSantis’ office could allow combat sports events to move forward in the state so long as the shows are held behind closed doors without an audience in attendance.
The rule was initially reported by ESPN in relation to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) being allowed to hold live shows in Florida at their Performance Center in Orlando. While WWE had been pre-taping programs in the state, the professional wrestling promotion went live on Monday night with “Raw,” which was held without an audience in attendance.
