The global pandemic that is the coronavirus has now forced the Ultimate Fighting Championship to make a tough decision.

On Wednesday, Combate reported that the Las Vegas-based organization would be at risk of cancelling the event altogether, or invoked the possibility of shuttering the UFC Fight Night 170 event to fans. On Thursday morning, Combate then wrote that the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium had agreed to hold this event without any in attendance.
