Morning Report: Daniel Cormier okay with his retirement fight being in an empty arena, thinks it will be ‘the perfect way to go out’

Over the previous couple of months, the coronavirus has thrown the MMA world into disarray, especially that of the UFC. Events have been cancelled or postponed as UFC President Dana White has been scrambling to find a way to make fights happen amid a global pandemic and the various governmental restrictions it is causing. The UFC is not the only one affected though as the fighters, too, are left without certainty around their planned future fights. But while eventually the pandemic will pass and things will return to business as usual, there’s one fighter who doesn’t have time to waste: former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
