There will be a Bellator MMA card on Friday, just without any fans.
In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the promotion announced on Thursday that the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut will be closed off to fans. This came after an initial report from TSN’s Aaron Broensteter.
“Out of an abundance of caution for all parties, #Bellator241 on Friday, March 13 at Mohegan Sun Arena will be closed to the public,” Bellator president Scott Coker tweeted. “Refunds for ticketholders will be available at their original point of purchase.”
The state of Connecticut just announced a ban on public gatherings larger than 250 people, so this was an inevitability.
