UFC will be hosting a trio of events starting on May 9 in Jacksonville, Florida in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The promotion has since emailed the fighters involved in the card about the safety protocols that will be in place to try and prevent the spread of the virus.
The list is somewhat similar to the measures they planned to use in the canceled event in Tachi Palace, and like before, this was also a bit vague and didn’t mention specifics about COVID-19 testing.
Both MMA Junkie and MMA Fighting have obtained the UFC’s memo, and below is a summary:
- Only UFC staff, participating fighters and licensed cornermen are allowed in the hotel and venue.
