Following emergency declarations from Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak and president Donald Trump, the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Saturday pulled the plug on fight permits until March 25, citing imminent safety concerns over the novel coronavirus that’s brought much of the sporting world to a halt.
So far, UFC events planned for March 28 and April 11 at the promotion’s APEX center are unaffected. During an emergency meeting Saturday, the commission also approved a plan to be presented by NSAC executive director Bob Bennett to present a plan that will address ongoing concerns over the COVID-19 virus.
The revocations and plan both received unanimous votes from commissioners, who dialed in to vote.
