Nevada is slowly re-opening during this coronavirus pandemic, and combat sports will likely be returning soon.
On May 9th, Phase 1 of Nevada’s re-opening plans from COVID-19 were launched, and Phase 2 is being worked on already. The Nevada State Athletic Commission has announced that they will have a hearing on May 27, and part of the discussion will be on the return of both MMA and boxing events without a live audience.
Multiple events from both Top Rank and UFC are lined up on the agenda. The MMA promotion has asked to have shows on May 30 and June 6 at the UFC Apex facility, while Top Rank has plans for June 9 and June 11 boxing events at the MGM Grand.
