Editorial: Dana White’s claims UFC Jacksonville events were successful are premature

When it comes to the three UFC Jacksonville events that just wrapped up, it’s much too early to raise a V for victory and celebrate the success of the fight cards. Why? Because we don’t know if they were a success and the risk of COVID-19 doesn’t just magically disappear when a UFC event ends.

Despite that, UFC president Dana White took a victory lap during the post-fight press conference which followed Saturday’s fight card.

“I’m happy to have it behind me. I wanted this week to be over. It was successful in every way it could be successful,” White said.
