For the last two months, the coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the sports world, cancelling nearly all sporting events across the globe. That will change this weekend though as the UFC will return to action this Saturday with UFC 249 and then follow that up with two more events the following week. It’s an ambitious return to action for the worldwide leader in MMA and not everyone is happy about it.
UFC President Dana’s White aggressive return plan for the UFC has drawn criticism from a number of parties, and on the eve of the UFC’s return, boxing promoter and longtime rival Bob Arum has joined the fray, essentially calling White’s actions reckless during this global pandemic.
