Report: Dana White may watch Woodley vs. Burns from his room due to NSAC mask policy

Dana White is drawing a line in the sand with the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The NSAC recently handed down their COVID-19 protocols for combat sporting events, which cleared the way for the UFC to return to Las Vegas and put on this weekend’s show at their Apex facility. However, as part of those protocols, the commission made it clear that all fighters, corners, and event staff must wear masks at all times during fight week activities. That includes UFC president Dana White. And from the sound of things, he’s not having it.

In a recent media scrum, during the lead up to the event, White reportedly revealed that he may be watching this week’s UFC card from his private room.
