UFC is enforcing stricter COVID-19 testing guidelines for its fighters ahead of Saturday's Fight Night event in Las Vegas.
According to a memo obtained by MMA Junkie's Nolan King, UFC will require fighters and their corners to take two tests ahead of the bout, one upon their arrival at the hotel and another after Friday's weigh-in. They will also be expected to follow more stringent social distancing guidelines, including not leaving their hotel or having physical contact with anyone outside their camp.
“During this time, no athletes or cornermen will be permitted to leave the Athlete Hotel without express prior approval from the Nevada State Athletic Commission," the memo said of expectations of fighters after their Friday test.
