Hours after the Nevada State Athletic Commission voted unanimously to revoke fight licenses and come up with a plan to address the COVID-19 pandemic, UFC President Dana White is vowing the show will go on.
White told ESPN the promotion will move its next three events – scheduled for March 21, March 28 and April 11 – from their current hosts to new locations to be determined.
The promotion was scheduled to hold a Fight Night event at the O2 Arena in London on March 21. But that plan was cast into doubt when reports indicated the British government would ban mass gatherings in a move reflective of governments around the world to limit the spread of the virus, which has claimed over 5,800 lives worldwide.
