UFC vet Jeff Curran brought to tears after being forced to close his gym due to coronavirus pandemic

When Jeff Curran finished construction on his new facility in 2018, he believed this was going to be the final home where he would teach martial arts.

Now less than two years later, his gym has been forced to close as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“I’ve never cried so much in my grown life, my adult life,” Curran said when revealing the news to MMA Fighting.

After moving locations nearly a dozen times, the 42-year-old former UFC fighter finally found what he felt was a perfect spot for his gym. He spent months doing construction on the inside of the building while putting together all the necessary pieces to teach Brazilian jiu-jitsu along with several other programs he planned to implement.
