Earlier today it was reported that this Saturday’s highly anticipated UFC Fight Night event at Ginásio Nilson Nelson Arena in Brasília would be held in an empty arena due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus.
The UFC was also forced to cancel Ultimate Media Day on Thursday.
“Due to consideration of the government’s decree yesterday, Ultimate Media Day has been cancelled. Content featuring the athletes scheduled to fight in Saturday’s event will be captured and shared with credentialed media members in advance of the event,” the UFC released in a statement on Thursday.
