UFC Lincoln currently remains amidst local COVID-19 gathering ban

As of now, nothing has changed in regards to the UFC’s scheduled return to Lincoln, Neb.

With the coronavirus pandemic taking hold in the U.S., the City of Lincoln has made the decision to follow many other areas of the country by instituting enforceable restrictions — which includes a ban on gatherings over 10 people.

Pat Lopez, the Interim Health Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, made the decision to “further limit the opportunities for community spread of the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19”. The ban is scheduled to last from Thursday through May 6.
