Randy Couture believes the UFC’s attempt to move forward in the midst of a global pandemic bordered on selfish.
This past week, Dana White announced that UFC 249, originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak; future events were also paused. White had been adamant the promotion would move forward with its 2020 schedule by holding events at Tachi Palace Resort Casino in Lemoore, Calif. But then Disney and ESPN executives stepped in to intervene, according to the UFC president.
Couture, a UFC Hall of Famer, gym owner and PFL color commentator, recently appeared on Weighing In with Josh Thomson and John McCarthy and gave his reaction to the latest news regarding his former promoter.
