Top Rank rounder promoter Bob Arum announced Thursday that he will stage a five-fight card on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to the Associated Press. He’ll then hold a second fight card two nights later.
No fans or media will be allowed at either card, and everyone involved will be tested for the coronavirus at least twice during fight week.
Arum’s fights — along with UFC 250 that UFC president Dana White hopes to hold on May 30 — are still pending approval by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Arum also still needs the MGM Grand and other hotels in Las Vegas to be allowed to reopen, something that is expected to happen early next month.
