It looks like the UFC may have a strong “plan B,” if that’s what it comes down to. This according to Maxim Korolkov, Belarus’ Director of Hand-to-Hand Combat and Mixed Martial Arts. Korolkov recently spoke to Sputnik.by as well as Sport 24 to explain that he had extended an offer to the UFC amid the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic to host their upcoming PPV in Minsk.
Belarus is apparently one of a few countries around the world still hosting large scale sporting events, even apparently with audiences still in attendance. President Alexander Lukashenko recently called the Coronavirus pandemic “mass psychosis” and was seen participating in a public hockey event just days ago.
