Dana White not interested in smaller, socially-distanced crowd: ‘I won’t do a 50 percent arena’

For UFC President Dana White, when it comes to bringing the octagon back to arenas across the globe again, there are no half-measures.

Following UFC on ESPN 10 — the third consecutive UFC event to take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas — on Saturday night, White was asked for an update on what he feels needs to be done before his promotion resumes traveling as the world continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Although certain states have begun to loosen restrictions on public gatherings, sports leagues are still struggling to figure out how to hold events without the presence of a live audience.
