UFC announces cancellation of Saskatoon, Austin events

The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the UFC’s 2020 schedule.

Due to restrictions on public gatherings as a result of COVID-19 precautions, the UFC officially announced Thursday that the June 20 event in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and the June 27 event in Austin, Texas, have officially been canceled.

This announcement was a formality given that sports in North America and across much of the world have been shut down to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The UFC only recently returned to action after canceling multiple events in March and April, holding three events in eight days this past week in Jacksonville, Fla.
