The media day and ceremonial weigh-ins were called off and the UFC Brasilia event is now being held behind closed doors because of the coronavirus epidemic. And now the event is going to begin two hours earlier, too.
Due to other sporting events also being cancelled around the world to prevent people from spreading the virus even further, Combate reported that the UFC decided to begin UFC Brasilia two hours earlier in order to better fit the TV schedules of countries that were majorly affected by those called off events, such at the Australian F-1 GP.
